# Increment
Cryptographic algorithms use a `binary` representation of variables internally (`Buffer` in nodejs). `Hexadecimal` representation is used to facilitate human reading. To get more familiar with the hexadecimal form, we will do a simple operation.
### Instructions
Create a function `increment` that takes as argument a number written in hexadecimal form and returns the same number incremented by one.
### Usage
```js
increment("03"); // expected : <Buffer 04>
increment("a0"); // expected : <Buffer a1>
increment("ff"); // expected : <Buffer 01 00>
increment("d537"); // expected : <Buffer d5 38>
```
