What this snippet does
Strings are Unicode; encoding converts them to raw bytes for file I/O or network transmission.
Expected output
b'hello' <class 'bytes'>
Why practise typing this
Typing strings & bytes code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
