#29System Diagnostics — 32-bit Status Code Converter

You are developing a system diagnostics tool that receives a 32-bit status value generated by a computer system. For easier debugging, the diagnostic tool must display the value in its hexadecimal representation. Given a signed 32-bit integer statusCode, return its hexadecimal representation as a lowercase string.

Rules Use lowercase hexadecimal characters (0-9 and a-f). Do not include leading zeros. The value 0 must be represented as "0". For negative values, use the 32-bit two's-complement representation. You cannot use a built-in function that directly converts an integer to hexadecimal. The conversion must be performed using bitwise operations or equivalent arithmetic logic.

Real-World Application

Hexadecimal representations are commonly used in: System error and status logs Embedded-system diagnostics Network packet analysis Hardware register inspection Debugging and forensic analysis
