# Hexadecimal
|
||||
|
||||
Write a program that will convert a hexadecimal number, represented as a string (e.g. "10af8c"), to its decimal equivalent using first principles (i.e. no, you may not use built-in or external libraries to accomplish the conversion).
|
||||
|
||||
On the web we use hexadecimal to represent colors, e.g. green: 008000,
|
||||
teal: 008080, navy: 000080).
|
||||
|
||||
The program should handle invalid hexadecimal strings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure you have read [the C++ page](http://exercism.io/languages/cpp) on
|
||||
exercism.io. This covers the basic information on setting up the development
|
||||
environment expected by the exercises.
|
||||
|
||||
## Passing the Tests
|
||||
|
||||
Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the [three
|
||||
rules of test-driven development](http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheThreeRulesOfTdd).
|
||||
Create just enough structure by declaring namespaces, functions, classes,
|
||||
etc., to satisfy any compiler errors and get the test to fail. Then write
|
||||
just enough code to get the test to pass. Once you've done that,
|
||||
uncomment the next test by moving the following line past the next test.
|
||||
|
||||
```C++
|
||||
#if defined(EXERCISM_RUN_ALL_TESTS)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This may result in compile errors as new constructs may be invoked that
|
||||
you haven't yet declared or defined. Again, fix the compile errors minimally
|
||||
to get a failing test, then change the code minimally to pass the test,
|
||||
refactor your implementation for readability and expressiveness and then
|
||||
go on to the next test.
|
||||
|
||||
Try to use standard C++11 facilities in preference to writing your own
|
||||
low-level algorithms or facilities by hand. [CppReference](http://en.cppreference.com/)
|
||||
is a wiki reference to the C++ language and standard library. If you
|
||||
are new to C++, but have programmed in C, beware of
|
||||
[C traps and pitfalls](http://www.slideshare.net/LegalizeAdulthood/c-traps-and-pitfalls-for-c-programmers).
