Convert decimal to hexadecimal and vice versa in JavaScript
In such cases, we can convert a decimal value to the hexadecimal string by using the number.toString(16) and hexadecimal string to the decimal by using hex_string.parseInt(16).
In both cases, 16 is the base to the number system that says that target or source value format is hexadecimal.
