‘%x’, ‘%X’ Print an integer as an unsigned hexadecimal number. ‘%x’
uses lower-case letters and ‘%X’ uses upper-case.
I am shocked- shocked- to find that integer conversions are going on here!
In C, implicit conversions abound. In Go, by design, conversions are explicit.
In C, printf implicitly converts a signed integer to unsigned for format %x. Go fmt.Printf does not.
By design, Go is not C. Go does have similarities to C, which may trap the unwary.
