Better: a programmer should know how to convert hexadecimal to decimal.
0x1B = (0x1 * 16^1) + (0xB * 16^0) = (1 * 16) + (11 * 1) = 16 + 11 = 27
It’s that easy, and a programmer should be able to do that in their
brain, at least with small numbers. Or at least know that:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=0x1B+in+decimal
Or at least `hex(27)`; or '`{:X}'.format(27)`; or `'%X' % 27`. (I
despise hex numbers with lowercase letters, but that’s my personal
opinion.)
