Hexadecimal
Write a program that will convert a hexadecimal number, represented as a string (e.g. "10af8c"), to its decimal equivalent using first principles (i.e. no, you may not use built-in or external libraries to accomplish the conversion).
On the web we use hexadecimal to represent colors, e.g. green: 008000, teal: 008080, navy: 000080).
The program should handle invalid hexadecimal strings.
To run the tests simply run the command go test in the exercise directory.
If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the -bench
flag:
go test -bench .
For more detailed info about the Go track see the help page.
