Uppercase if you write them out by hand, that way they stand out from surrounding text. Otherwise it doesn't matter.

digits are full-height. all uppercase letters are. most lowercase letters aren

therefore uppercase is more aesthetically pleasing. otherwise doesn't matter

Upper or your not autistic enough for this board

uppercase

lowercase is for octal you fucking retard

>>1024999

show me some lowercase octal.

When typeset in lower-case they look more aesthetic, plus the prefix commonly used with hexadecimal notation is 0x, as opposed to OX, or at least I don't think I've ever seen the latter used, so in conclusion, lower-case is the right and superior choice.

post you cuckchan /g/ancer elsewhere

not a thread/10

>>>/g/

It's more "neat" to use uppercase letters as decimal digits are "uppercase" as well. Then again, lowercase is generally more readable (that's why lowercase exists in the first place). Thus, there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut answer.

You are retarded. Your symbols make absolutely no sense. The symbols of the anon you responded to make actually perfect sense if you are not a nigger.

>>1025067

>hurr let's count the vertices to make sure if it's a 15 or maybe a 13 after all

Usable symbols need to be instantly recognisable and not require ridiculous procedures like counting shit.

>>1025072

None of the symbols you posted >>1025010 are anywhere near the realm of 'instantly recognizable', your argument is invalid. It's based on completely arbitrary logic and if you flip it upside down it becomes even less recognizable. The entire point of a symbolic system for hex is to preserve the information, not read it quickly. What difference does it make whether you can recognize it instantly or not? Absolutely zero. Take your 20 IQ back to reddit please.

>It's based on completely arbitrary logic

You mean binary?

Yep, you're a nigger.

>>1025080

>>1025076

stay mad forever brainlets enjoy your inferior hex symbols dumb fags

>>1025102

Learn binary you stupid nigger.

This is rearanging deck chairs on the Titanic. It's too late to care about such trivial matters, it's over. We lost. All hardware is part of the botnet, and compilers are soon to be made cloud only. You need a high social score just to use one. This is all necessary because of the fake Russian-hacker ruse. Software is a weapon, too dangerous to put a loaded gun in the hands of regular people. I have all ready planned to surrender my processors to the authorities, it's all boxed up, and ready to be packed into the vans. I don't think I have very long left myself. I might go for a walk, until the chemtrails burn my eyes. It's over. Done. Finished. Going to disconnect my router now, nothing on the internet anyways. We had a good run, but this is the end.

Technically it is neither upper nor lower case, and the OP is a faggot.

The glyphs to represent the numbers 10 to 15 are visually identical to the upper case characters A to F of the Latin character set, but are not the upper (or lower) case characters themselves, i.e. they are written the same but are not equivalent.

You can think of them as identical twins - or doppelgangers, they look the same but are separate entities, with different names.

F = pronouced as 'ay-ffff', the sixth letter of upper case Latin character set.

F = pronounced as 'fif-teen', the hexadecimal representation of the value fifteen

Since there is visual parity between the hexadecimal numeral and the alphabet letter it is the context of use which determines the meaning.

See >>1026443 for another common misunderstanding of figure 'cases'.

Which one?

>>1026463

Do you glowniggers really need to make your bot posting so obvious?

It is on the level of Nigerian email spam.

I suppose it's to be expected when you're jerking off your ego rather than using your brain.

>>1026468

>You might just be the most pretentious faggot I've ever seen post here.

not an argument

>>1026469

>$DEADBEEF

or use parenthesis and sub-index (in mathematics)

>>1026445

What are you confused about?

>>1026492

the contradiction

>>1026493

I don't follow.

The 7 in the image has whatever the numerical equivalent of a serif is, I'm of the opinion that 7's without these marks are inferior and thus should be considered "lower".

8ch's server changed my filename from "6++.png" to "6 .png" if that's what you mean.

This is quite literally a decimal system, not what's being discussed at all.

Here's quintal:

Old:
