[Tutor] built-in hex->int question

[Gregor Lingl]

My interpreter works consistently:

>>> int('0xaf')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    int('0xaf')
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 0xaf
>>> float('0xaf')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
    float('0xaf')
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 0xaf
>>> int(0xaf)
175
>>> float(0xaf)
175.0
>>>
