 +If a byte reaches its maximum value, meaning every bit is set to “1”, then: **2#**11111111 = 255 = **16#**FF
 +
 +If we calculate: F, i.e., “15” * 16 + “15” = 255
 +
 +In some ways, this can make our lives easier, because if we see a value of “**16#**FF” somewhere, or a longer series of these, for example “**16#**FFFF_FFFF”, then we can suspect that we have reached the maximum value of one of the variable types.
 +I would also like to mention the 8-bit, i.e., octal number system, it sometimes still occurs here and there, for example, in the case of numerical symbols, but only rarely, we don’t really use it.
