RGB to Hex Conversion

Write a function rgb_to_hex(r, g, b) that takes in three integers representing the values of the red, green, and blue components of a color, and returns a string representing the hexadecimal color code. The output string should be in the format RRGGBB, where RR, GG, and BB are two-digit hexadecimal values representing the red, green, and blue components respectively.

For example, if the input values are 255, 165, and 1, the output should be the string 'FFA501'.

def rgb_to_hex(r, g, b):
  return ('{:02X}' * 3).format(r, g, b)
rgb_to_hex(255, 165, 1) ## 'FFA501'

Summary

In this challenge, you have learned how to convert RGB values to hexadecimal format. By completing this challenge, you have gained a better understanding of color representation in web development.
