+## Conversion to Hex
+
+The `toHex` behave exactly the same in both v1.x and 4.x, except for a string that contains only numbers. In 1.x if a number was provided inside a string like `123` it used to be treated as a number. While in 4.x it will be treated as a string, except if it was prefixed with `0x`. For more clarity, check below: 
+
+```ts
+// 1.x
+new Web3().utils.toHex(0x1) // returns 0x1
+new Web3().utils.toHex('0x1') // returns 0x1
+new Web3().utils.toHex(1) // returns 0x1
+new Web3().utils.toHex('1') // returns 0x1
+
+// 4.x
+new Web3().utils.toHex(0x1) // returns 0x1
+new Web3().utils.toHex('0x1') // returns 0x1
+new Web3().utils.toHex(1) // returns 0x1
+new Web3().utils.toHex('1') // returns 0x31
+```
