DEC2HEX(number, places)

DEC2HEX() converts a decimal number to its hexadecimal equivalent.

The 'number' can be up to 20 digits (i.e. in-between -99999999999999999999 and -99999999999999999999).
Output is a 40 bit number. The most significant bit is the sign bit and remaining bits are magnitude bits.
If 'number' is negative, Calci ignores the places and returns a 10 character (40 bit) hexadecimal number.
'places' argument can be omitted. Calci displays the hexadecimal output with minimum number of characters necessary.
'places' is used for padding the output with leading '0's'.
A number preceding with '0' (e.g. 0377) should be written in text format ("0377") to avoid confusion with octal numbers.

For Example,

DEC2HEX(50,5) returns 00032

DEC2HEX(4567890) returns 000045B352

DEC2HEX(35,3.3) returns 0023

Calci displays an error message, if the 'number' is an invalid decimal number.
If the 'number' is not an integer, Calci considers the integer part, and displays the output.
Calci ignores the 'places', if the output is more than mentioned 'places'.
Calci ignores the 'places', if the 'places' is non-numeric or negative.
If 'places' is not an integer, Calci truncates the 'places' value.
