Hi I am quite a new programmer and I was just wondering if there's anyone out there who could help me...

I need to write a procedure to input a decimal number via a suitable const parameter and output the hexadecimal equivalent to the console window...

Now, I can do the maths and figure I need to use a loop of some type, but can anyone help me on how i can store the cumbers separately to put together at the end of the procedure...?
you need to mod the number by 16 to get the remainder and then div by 16 and repeat with new num... how do you store the remainders and convert them into the hex equivalent without having lines and lines of code?

I wrote one years ago where I stored the hex digits in a string.

program dec2hex;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  SysUtils;

const
   BASE16 = 16;
var
   HexValue  : string;
   Remainder : Integer;
   Quotient  : Integer;
begin
   HexValue := '';
   write( 'Enter an integer value: ' );
   readln( Quotient );
   while Quotient > 0 do
   begin
      Remainder := Quotient mod BASE16;
      case Remainder of
         10: HexValue := 'A' + HexValue;
         11: HexValue := 'B' + HexValue;
         12: HexValue := 'C' + HexValue;
         13: HexValue := 'D' + HexValue;
         14: HexValue := 'E' + HexValue;
         15: HexValue := 'F' + HexValue;
      else
         HexValue := IntToStr( Remainder ) + HexValue;
      end;
      Quotient := Quotient div BASE16
   end;
   writeln;
   writeln( HexValue );
   writeln;
end.
