+    Convert a hexadecimal value to its binary equivalent
+    #https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1425493/convert-hex-to-binary
+    Here, we have used the bitwise right shift operator: >>
+    Shifts the bits of the number to the right and fills 0 on voids left as a result.
+    Similar effect as of dividing the number with some power of two.
+    Example:
+    a = 10
+    a >> 1 = 5
+
+    >>> hex_to_bin("AC")
+    10101100
+    >>> hex_to_bin("9A4")
+    100110100100
+    >>> hex_to_bin("   12f   ")
+    100101111
+    >>> hex_to_bin("FfFf")
+    1111111111111111
+    >>> hex_to_bin("-fFfF")
+    -1111111111111111
