Given an integer, write an algorithm to convert it to hexadecimal. For negative integer, two’s complement method is used.
Note:
All letters in hexadecimal (a-f) must be in lowercase.
The hexadecimal string must not contain extra leading 0s. If the number is zero, it is represented by a single zero character '0'; otherwise, the first character in the hexadecimal string will not be the zero character.
The given number is guaranteed to fit within the range of a 32-bit signed integer.
You must not use any method provided by the library which converts/formats the number to hex directly.
Example 1:
Input:
26
Output:
"1a"
Example 2:
Input:
-1
Output:
"ffffffff"

Basic idea: each time we take a look at the last four digits of
binary verion of the input, and maps that to a hex char
shift the input to the right by 4 bits, do it again
until input becomes 0.
