# Example python program using hex() to convert a bytes literal

# of ascii characters to a string literal of hexadecimal digits

bytesLiteral = b"hell\x6f";

hexVal = bytesLiteral.hex();

print("Bytes literal of ascii characters:");

print(bytesLiteral);

print("String literal of hexadecimal digits:");

print(hexVal);

bytesLiteral = b"\x77\x6f\x72\x6c\x64";

hexVal = bytesLiteral.hex();

print("Bytes literal of ascii characters:");

print(bytesLiteral);

print("Bytes literal of hexadecimal digits converted into a string literal:");

print(hexVal);
