(a) Grasp the concepts of denary, binary, and hexadecimal number systems. (b) Be able to convert between (i) positive denary and positive binary, (ii) positive denary and positive hexadecimal, (iii) positive hexadecimal and positive binary. Note: Denary is base 10, binary is base 2, and hexadecimal is base 16. Only integer values will be used, and conversions must be performed in both directions, with a maximum binary number length of 16 bits.
