Best Answer

The difficulty arises from the fact that you have been trained, over the years, to work with decimal numbers and so, if required to add 7 and 8 you go for 5 and carry 1. In hexadecimal, where you would use characters, 7 + 8 is F and no carry.

It is not difficult once you get used to it.
