The HEXw. informat converts the
hexadecimal representation of positive binary numbers to real floating-point
binary values. The width value of the HEXw. informat
determines whether the input represents an integer (fixed-point) or real (floating-point)
binary number. When you specify a width of 1 through 15, the informat interprets
the input hexadecimal as an integer binary number. When your specify 16 for
the width value, the informat interprets the input hexadecimal as a floating-point
value.
