Same way you do it in decimal, Edgar, but it isn't drilled into you like that, so it's no fun. You know that 5 + 3 = 8, because you committed it to memory. You can also do it the 'hard way'. Five anna 1 is 6 anna 1 is 7 anna 1 is 8. Same with hex. E + A = 8, carry the 1. If you convert beforehand you have to convert back, which is a pain. So is doing it in the hard way: E anna 1 = F anna 1 = 0 (carry the 1, 10) anna 2 = 11 .... blah blah, BS. For me, the best thing to do is just memorize the stuff and go with it. Since you don't have to live with it on a daily basis before the invention of such calculators, you probably just wanna go that route.
