Joe Johnson has a reputation beyond repute

Pbasic knows hex

Pbasic is very comfortable with hex (a.k.a. hexidecimal) and binary numbers.

Decimal is assumed if there is no leading $ or #.

$ is the leading character to indicate a hex number $80 = 128 for example.

# is the leading character to indicated a binary number #1000000 = $80 = 128.

For me, Pbasic and hex go together like Mountain Dew and Pizza.

The base machine uses 8 bit and 16 bit registers. This makes hex very easy to use in come cases.

Just one programmer's opinion.
