Isn't the 13th element 'C'?

hex? I missed that. Sorry.
 
D hex S 16 inz('0123456789ABCDEF') 
 
 
In your C specs divide by 16. The remainder +1 is the array index pointing
out the right most character. 
Repeat, until you've divided your answers by 16 til its 0, using the
remainders to establish your hex values.
 
for example, lets say the number is 44.
 
Dividing by 16 equals 2, with a remainder of 12. 12+1=13, The 13th array
element is 'D'
Dividing the above answer (2) by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 2. 2+1=3. The
3rd element is '2'
 
So, the hex number for 44 is 2D
 
(gads I hope this is right and not backwards. I never get this stuff right
the first time. But the idea is there, even if its messed up.)

If you take a look to my request and the code i later posted, you'll 
realize
that is not the same result.
