Python: Convert a hexadecimal color code to its RGB components
Python String: Exercise-94 with Solution
Write a Python program to convert a hexadecimal color code to a tuple of integers corresponding to its RGB components.
- Use a list comprehension in combination with int() and list slice notation to get the RGB components from the hexadecimal string.
- Use tuple() to convert the resulting list to a tuple.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
def hex_to_rgb(hex):
return tuple(int(hex[i:i+2], 16) for i in (0, 2, 4))
print(hex_to_rgb('FFA501'))
print(hex_to_rgb('FFFFFF'))
print(hex_to_rgb('000000'))
print(hex_to_rgb('FF0000'))
print(hex_to_rgb('000080'))
print(hex_to_rgb('C0C0C0'))
Sample Output:
(255, 165, 1) (255, 255, 255) (0, 0, 0) (255, 0, 0) (0, 0, 128) (192, 192, 192)

What is the difference between Python's list methods append and extend?
append: Appends object at the end.
x = [1, 2, 3] x.append([4, 5]) print (x)
Output:
[1, 2, 3, [4, 5]]
extend: Extends list by appending elements from the iterable.
x = [1, 2, 3] x.extend([4, 5]) print (x)
Output:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
