Hex encoding is performed by converting the 8 bit data to 2 hex characters. The hex characters are then stored as the two byte string representation of the characters. Often, some kind of separator is used to make the encoded data easier for human reading.
Python hex() function is used to convert an integer to a lowercase hexadecimal string prefixed with “0x”. We can also pass an object to hex() function, in that case the object must have __index__() function defined that returns integer. The input integer argument can be in any base such as binary, octal etc.
The conversion of hexadecimal to decimal is done by using the base number 16. The hexadecimal digit is expanded to multiply each digit with the power of 16. The power starts at 0 from the right moving forward towards the right with the increase in power. For the conversion to complete, the multiplied numbers are added.
Try this:
hex_str = "0xAD4"
hex_int = int(hex_str, 16)
new_int = hex_int + 0x200
print hex(new_int)
If you don't like the 0x in the beginning, replace the last line with
print hex(new_int)[2:]
Use int function with second parameter 16, to convert a hex string to an integer. Finally, use hex function to convert it back to a hexadecimal number.
print hex(int("0xAD4", 16) + int("0x200", 16)) # 0xcd4
Instead you could directly do
print hex(int("0xAD4", 16) + 0x200) # 0xcd4
