Decoding

We've encoded some raw data into hex and binary strings, now let's write some code to decode the hexadecimal version.

Assignment

Complete the getHexBytes function. It takes a string of the following format as input:

48:65:6c:6c:6f

It should return a []byte that represents the string encoded in each hex value. We're essentially reversing the process we used to encode the data in the last assignment.

The following functions will help:

strings.Split()
hex.DecodeString()
