/*
 
  This sketch converts a Decimal number into a Hexadecimal number.
  The Decimal number is fed to the Arduino through a 4x4 Keypad.
  A function then converts this Decimal number to its Hexadecimal
  equivalent. These numbers are displayed on a Liquid Crystal Display
  and Serial Monitor.
 
  This program is made by Shreyas for Electronics Champ YouTube Channel.
