[R] hex format

[Steve Vejcik]

Thanks for your advice.  Unfortunately, your answers are inconsistent:
as.numeric("0x1AF0") returns a decimal value for a hex string. I'd like
to do the opposite-use hex notation to represent a decimal.
e.g.
    x<-0x000A
    y<-0x0001
    x+y=0x00B
     
     Cheers.
