Output:
Hexadecimal String: 4861636b657220436f6465 Bytes Sequence: b'Hacker Code' Decoded String: Hacker Code
In the exercise above, the "hex_string_to_bytes()" function takes a hexadecimal string as input and converts it into a bytes sequence using the "bytes.fromhex()" method. In the "main()" function, a sample hexadecimal string is provided and the resultant bytes sequence and decoded string are printed.
