[Tutor] Covert numbers to hex fails

[Tom Tucker]

Alan,
Thanks!  Your response was helpful.  I was trying to pass a number
variable to the hex object.  The output associated with this would be
referenced in the hexoutput variable.

I guess this is as simple as....
hexoutput = "%X"  % (value)

Thanks again for the help,

Tom
