Python includes a built-in callable named `bytearray()`.

The bytearray class is a mutable sequence of integers in the range 0 <= x < 256. They return a new array of bytes

A bytearray in #Python takes the following optional arguments:

🐍 source[optional]: Initializes the array of bytes
🐍 encoding[optional]: Encoding of the string
🐍 errors[optional]: Takes action when encoding fails

It is often useful to see an unfamiliar concept in action. Here are two examples of creating a bytearray using different encodings and printing them out

You can loop over items in a bytearray and ask the bytearray what its size is as well using `len()`
