Convert cell array containing hex and scientific notation into hex

I have 4-digit hex data coming in that sometimes displays all numeric hex entries as scientific notation, for exaple:

Sample = {'4a3';'8.00E+1';'3f00';'503'}

I need the data to be all hex. Does anyone know of an efficient way to to convert scientific notation stored as a string in a cell array to hex? Thank you in advance.

Method one: CELLFUN:

C = {'4a3';'8.00E+1';'3f00';'503'}

C = 4×1 cell array
    {'4a3'    }
    {'8.00E+1'}
    {'3f00'   }
    {'503'    }

X = contains(C,["+","-"]);
F = @(s)sprintf('%x',sscanf(s,'%f'));
C(X) = cellfun(F,C(X),'uni',0)

C = 4×1 cell array
    {'4a3' }
    {'50'  }
    {'3f00'}
    {'503' }

Method two: COMPOSE:

C = {'4a3';'8.00E+1';'3f00';'503'}

C = 4×1 cell array
    {'4a3'    }
    {'8.00E+1'}
    {'3f00'   }
    {'503'    }

X = contains(C,["+","-"]);
C(X) = compose('%x',sscanf(sprintf(' %s',C{X}),'%f'))

C = 4×1 cell array
    {'4a3' }
    {'50'  }
    {'3f00'}
    {'503' }

Method one works beautifully, thank you!
