Rather than simply printing the output as a text string,
try saving the result into another variable.  Then investigate
what format that value might be.

I'm not in a position to test this right now, but I suspect it
may well be a six-character binary string.  What happens
if you split this string into six separate integer values,
and print each one in hex?
