[issue26506] hex() documentation: mention "%x" % int

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I agree with you and always prefer formatting strings.

Your example shows that at least an alternative to str.zfill() should be mentioned in the educational purposes.

With C-style formatting your example can be written more laconically:

    return "%0*x" % (length, ...)
