You will see the bytes, represented in base 16, but PAD
just contains 11
PAD ?
11 OK
In forth you can change the number base. That doesn't affect PAD
but the output is different
HEX
PAD ?
B OK
DECIMAL

On the contrary it is the last word in this discussion.
At least the last word I need or will read.

In the context of testcode where the OP is not knowing what is going on
it is absolutely useful, and legit. His problem is that it is Wednesday and
weird things happen

the familiar egg-farm problems:
I have 103 eggs. 12 eggs go in a box. How many boxes can I fill?

foo() need not return a string - it might return anything,

I interpreted the question as about the associative of the
dot operator.
title = slug.title().replace('-',' ')
Does that mean
title = slug.( title().replace(
t it never looses it special meaning.
Same for [ .
* means zero more of the preceeding char.
This makes + superfluous (a mere convenience) as
[1-3]+
can be expressed as
[1-3][1-3]*
Note that [1-3]* matches the empty string. This happens a lot.
