JavaScript: Convert ASCII to Hexadecimal format

Last update on May 30 2022 10:01:25 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

JavaScript String: Exercise-27 with Solution

Write a JavaScript function to convert ASCII to Hexadecimal format.

ASCII (Listeni/ˈæski/ ass-kee), abbreviated from American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, although they support many additional characters.

Test Data:
console.log(ascii_to_hexa('12'));
console.log(ascii_to_hexa('100'));
Output:
"3132"
"313030"

Sample Solution:-

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Write a JavaScript function to Convert ASCII to hex format.</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

function ascii_to_hexa(str)
  {
	var arr1 = [];
	for (var n = 0, l = str.length; n < l; n ++) 
     {
		var hex = Number(str.charCodeAt(n)).toString(16);
		arr1.push(hex);
	 }
	return arr1.join('');
   }

console.log(ascii_to_hexa('12'));
console.log(ascii_to_hexa('100'));

Sample Output:

3132
313030
