Hexadecimal to Decimal
To convert a hexadecimal number to a decimal number:
1. Starting from the right, multiply the least significant (rightmost) hexadecimal digit by
the first placeholder value. Moving towards the left, multiply each new hexadecimal
digit by its corresponding placeholder value until the hexadecimal number is
exhausted.

Then for each new placeholder value to the left, multiply the value to the right by
16.

2. Add the results of the multiplications in Step 1.
