Python : Convert(cast) string to bytes example
Problem :
You have couple of string variables in Python and you want to convert or type cast the string variables to bytes. How to do that?
Solution :
For Python 3 :
Declare a string variable and find out the variable type with type(var)
var = "str"
type(var)
<class 'str'> // type string
Convert string type to bytes with encode() function
var = "str".encode()
type(var)
<class 'bytes'> // type bytes
Alternatively, you can convert or type cast the string into bytes...straightaway by adding the b character pre-fix.
var = b"str"
type(var)
<class 'bytes'> // type bytes
