Hexgit number?

Question

if the digit is a name for a base number 10, what would be the name for a base number 16? Hexgit?

Answer 1

Digit. Just hexadecimal.

Are you looking for an analog bit for a binary digit? Hexgit would not be my choice; it really does not go off the tongue. As for the storage unit, the hexadecimal digit represents the value (or nybble).

Answer 2

This is a "nibble" (i.e. half a byte).

Answer 7

"Hexdigit" "hex digit" .

Answer 8

"Hexgit" would be a bad choice, since "hex" formally offers a basic six, not 16.

"Hexdecit" will retain the 6 + 10 representation, but I will stick to the "number".
