Parameterssource is used to initialize the bytes object. It is an optional parameter. encoding is optional unless source is string type. It is used to convert the string to bytes using str.encode() function errors is also an optional parameter. It is used when the source is string type. Also, when encoding fails due to some error. ReturnIt returns a bytes object. Let's see some examples of bytes() function to understand it's functionality. Python bytes() Function Example 1This is a simple example of converting string into bytes. string = "Hello World." arr = bytes(string, 'utf-8') print(arr) Output: b ' Hello World.' Python bytes() Function Example 2This example creates a byte of a given integer size. size = 5 arr = bytes(size) print(arr) Output: b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' Python bytes() Function Example 3This example converts iterable list to bytes. List = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] arr = bytes(List) print(arr) Output: b'\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05'
