I don't see how you could convert from ASCII to hexadecimal. One is a code
mapping numbers to glyphs, the other is a base for a number system?

Which is smaller? ASCII or hex? I can see it interpreted both ways.

If I enter a hex number like F542, each digit is represented by ASCII. The
computer doesn't store the number as hex, it's just a convenient way to show
the number to humans.
