Convert an integer number to a lowercase hexadecimal string prefixed with

Return an integer object constructed from a number or string *x*, or return
- ``0`` if no arguments are given. If *x* is a number, return

- :meth:`x.__trunc__() <object.__trunc__>` but not

If *x* is not a number or if *base* is given, then *x* must be a string,
