# Input Text Boxes ImHex contains a number of different input text boxes that expect different input. This page describes their functionality.


Mathematical Input This field expects some sort of mathematical expression such as `-1234.5` or `0xABCD` or `5 + 7` or `log(e) / 2`.	Important to note is, when trying to enter a hexadecimal value into these fields, the value must be prefixed with `0x`.	msedge_gBEvVNUGXq.png
Numerical Input	This field expects a numerical value. This can either be a floating point number, a decimal number, or a hexadecimal number.	msedge_mCX6oq3HTn.png
Binary Pattern Input	This field expects a binary pattern string in the form of `0F ?? A?`. The characters 0 to 9 and A to F specify the fixed value of that nibble while question marks specify a wildcard value. For more information on this, check the Binary Pattern page.	msedge_sCuv0NsVqj.png
