What Hexadecimal Calculator does, with a checked example
Type an arithmetic expression in hexadecimal and the tool evaluates it in base 16, showing the decimal and binary value of every operand and of the result as you type. Because each hex digit stands for exactly four binary bits, the binary column lines up with the hex digits one for one, so a sum like A4 visibly becomes 1010 0100. The thing most users trip on is that hex has no decimal-looking shorthand: a number like 10 in hex means sixteen, so the decimal column, not the hex display, is where you confirm what a result is really worth.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.

Expected output
A4 (decimal 164, binary 1010 0100)
F + 5 is 20 decimal, which is 16 + 4, so the units column writes 4 and carries 1; 7 + 2 + 1 is then 10 decimal, written as the digit A. The result A4 converts to 164 decimal, and each hex digit becomes four bits: A is 1010, 4 is 0100.
