    Hex can have a few meanings based on the context: 1. In a mathematical or computational context, "hex" is an abbreviation of "hexadecimal." This is a base-16 number system that uses sixteen distinct symbols (0-9 and A-F) to represent numbers. 2. In a cultural or supernatural context, a "hex" refers to a curse or spell, typically associated with witchcraft. 3. Hex can also refer to a hexagon, a six-sided polygon in geometry. 4.
