Are you familiar with hexadecimal representation of numbers? If not, there is a wealth of information available via Google. If you are familiar with it, what confusion do you have about the code?

As Steve said , get ur self acquainted with the hexadecimal representation.

Fyi,

Character.MAX_VALUE when represented as int is 65535 which is represented as ffff in hexadecimal

[Tilo Hemp]

the missing "," is strange. I think, the ouptut should be "ffff,".

char is unsigned prim
so the rang is 0-62235
