The Carbohydrate Fermentation test uses Phenol Red Broth to test for the fermentation of different sugars. It is one of the fermentation tests, others include the Methyl Red test and the Voges-Proskauer test.
The main reason why we use hexadecimal numbers is because it is much easier to express binary number representations in hex than it is in any other base number system. Computers do not actually work in hex (donât laugh, beginning students do ask that question). Lets look at an example, using a byte.
Hexadecimal floating-point constants are useful for two reasons: they bypass decimal to floating-point conversions, which are sometimes done incorrectly, and they bypass floating-point to decimal conversions which, even if done correctly, are often limited to a fixed number of decimal digits.
