Decorating Hex function to pad zeros

Question

I wrote this simple function:

def padded_hex(i, l):
    given_int = i
    given_len = l

    hex_result = hex(given_int)[2:] # remove \'0x\' from beginning o         


        

Answer 1

What I needed was

"{:02x}".format(2)   # '02'
"{:02x}".format(42)  # '2a'

or as f-strings:

f"{2:02x}"   # '02'
f"{42:02x}"  # '2a'
