I am trying to convert a string of 6 hex digits into a 0xffffff type of format. What is the data type for hex in C++? I currently have a string for, as an example, ffffff, but I need to get it into the 0xffffff for a function call. Basically, my code generate random digits of hex as an int, then converts those ints into the hex code counterpart. I then append those string together to create a hex string, but now I'm stuck on how to convert that into a 0xffffff format for a light_matrix.wr_pix() function call. Here is my code:
#include "de10_baseline.h"
#include "ws2812_core.h"
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "time.h"
#include <string>
std::string getHex(int digit){
std::string hex_digit;
switch(digit){
case 0:
hex_digit = "0";
case 1:
hex_digit = "1";
case 2:
hex_digit = "2";
case 3:
hex_digit = "3";
case 4:
hex_digit = "4";
case 5:
hex_digit = "5";
case 6:
hex_digit = "6";
case 7:
hex_digit = "7";
case 8:
hex_digit = "8";
case 9:
hex_digit = "9";
case 10:
hex_digit = "a";
case 11:
hex_digit = "b";
case 12:
hex_digit = "c";
case 13:
hex_digit = "d";
case 14:
hex_digit = "e";
case 15:
hex_digit = "f";
default:
hex_digit="g";
}
return hex_digit;
}
