Getting hex values for entering numeric values

Question

Hi all, I'm working on nrf52832 in segger embedded studio. Using ble scanner app, I'm entering some random values. So when i enter a value, I'm adding them to watch and checking out the value. I entered an integer value of 10, i'm expecting the same value to come in watch, but I'm getting the value as hex. For example if i enter 10, I'm getting it as 0x10.

This is effectively the same as what you did earlier, since it was already memset to 0. The point is that this way you do not provide any default data, but you specifies that the initial length is larger than 0. That mean you will get random/uninitialized data of whatever happens to be in memory. 
 If you want to initialize all custom characteristics to (say) 0, then you could add the following snippet to your custom_value_char_add() function in ble_cus.c right before you call sd_ble_gatts_characteristic_add() (around line 154): 
 // Zero-initialize the data for all. It is OK to point to the
 // same buffer for all as long as it is scaled for the largest,
 // as it is copied to the stack (BLE_GATTS_VLOC_STACK),
 #define MAX_LEN 45
 static uint8_t zero_init[MAX_LEN] = {0};
 attr_char_value.p_value = zero_init;
