errors is also an optional parameter. It is used when the source is string type. Also, when encoding fails due to some error.

Return

It returns a bytes object.

Let’s see some examples of bytes() function to understand it’s functionality.

I got my training from Zeblearn in the Python Certification Training, I would like to say that say he is one of the best trainers. He has not even trained me but also motivated me to explore more and the way he executed the project, in the end, was mind-blowing.
