Unlock the Power of Hexadecimal Conversion

The Syntax of Hex()

The hex() function takes a single argument, x, which must be an integer number (either an int object or an object that defines the __index__() method, returning an integer).

Converting Integers to Hexadecimal

The hex() function converts an integer to its corresponding hexadecimal number in string form and returns it. The resulting hexadecimal string is prefixed with 0x, indicating that it’s in hexadecimal form.

Example 1: Hex() in Action

print(hex(10))  # Output: 0xa

Beyond Integers: Converting Floats to Hexadecimal

If you need to find the hexadecimal representation of a float, you’ll need to use the float.hex() method. This method returns a string representing the floating-point number in hexadecimal form.

Example 2: Hexadecimal Representation of a Float

f = 3.14
print(f.hex())  # Output: 0x1.921fb4p+1

By mastering the hex() function and float.hex() method, you’ll be able to work with hexadecimal numbers like a pro!
