A computers' mathmatics are caclulated in hexidecimal, not our native decimal numbers. You could use a decimal address, but it makes everything more complicated.
1)why when you guys write "on" a adress you write it in a Hexademical code ?
2)title ...
Thank you
If you wanna see how to make a someone dumb press here

Wrong and unrelated.

Hexadecimal (commonly referred to as Hex) Is used as to be more convenient way of describing the Binary actions of your computer. 32bits written out in binary is long (11111111111111111111111111111111) and hard to decipher, while FFFFFFFF is short and sweet, and easy to recognize if you've done a bit with Hexadecimal numbers . The hex code you see does not directly relate to what we think of as numbers, but instead directly relate to binary patterns, that have meaning derived from context, the way how computers derive the context of whether a binary pattern represents a number or an address (or a register, instruction, etc.) is all due to the micro codded engineering of the CPU (or any component's) Arch.
Also I forgot to mention, we use Hex and not Decimal because Hex allows us to express 32 bits with a relatively small amount of numerical symbols, and still reflects the base. Since Binary is Base-2 and Hexadecimal is Base-16 the Bases are easier to convert between.
2 to the 4th power is 16, the fact that Base-16 is a power of 2 (2 the base of the Binary number system) makes the two number systems compatible and able to reflect aspects of the other.
