There is no such thing as "hex number". Only a string representing number can be "hex" or "decimal".

You cannot possibly have an array of numbers representing HEX numbers. You can either have array of string each representing a number, but this is not an array of numbers. Of you can have an array of numbers, but a number cannot be "hex" or "decimal". A number is a number, always "binary". So, the question simply makes no sense.

If you have strings, you need to parse each as "hex" into a number and use numeric arithmetic. If you have array of numbers, do numeric arithmetic on these numbers. You did not even explain what language and platform you are using (I feel that some people think that there is only one platform and one language in the world, aren't you one of them? :-)), so not code for you. You really need to learn some basics of programming, at least to get the skill of asking more correct questions.

Also, if you really use the array of strings, it would reflect the great fallacy of many beginners these days: a bad trend to work with strings representing data instead of data itself. You should try to work with data, not those strings.
