Why Programming Language so important ?


What is Python

● Python is a Programming Language.


● Scripting like Bash or Javascript.
● Don’t have to compile.
● Support by almost system.
Why is Python

● Easy to learn.
● Lightweight and Reliable
● Fastest growing programming language
● Large community
● Flexibility
Python in DevOps

● DevOps require a lot of Automation, Python is fit for it.


● Interact with Cloud computing.
● Ready-to-use API and Library.
Compared to Bash

Bash Script is most famous shell CLI on Linux.


PYTHON BASH

Highly efficient programming language Command-line interpreter (CLI)


1
General-purpose programming Not a programming language

2 Object-oriented programming (OOP) Replacement for the original Bourne shell

3 Easy, simple and powerful language Tough to write and not powerful as python.

4 Designed for web and app development. Found on Linux distributions and macOS.

It supports OOP and allow users to easily and neatly


5 Bash does not support OOP and it only understands text
break problems.

6 Require third-party programs to be installed Does not require third-party apps/programs to be installed

7 Better to use when script is larger than 100 lOC. For smaller script Bash is good.
Installation

● Windows:
○ https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3107/
● Linux:
○ sudo apt-get update
○ sudo apt-get install python 3.10
● MacOS:
○ brew install python
● Check for version
○ python --version
First code
Operators

● Basic math operations in Python is all


built-in.

Variables

● Variables can be any types of String, integer, array, map, …


● Naming is popular in 2 cases
○ CamelCase: capital first letter of each word
○ snake_case: underscore between words
Variables (continue)

● Naming rules:
○ Cannot use hyphens (-), spaces, and special characters ($,’,”,…)
○ Cannot start with number, e.g “1var”
● Assign value of a variable by using =
Function

● Print() help you to output the variable


or a string.
● A Function call with ()
● Variables passed into the function are
put between ( and ).
Define a Function

● Keyword “def” to define a


function.
● “sum” is the function name.
● ”a” and “b” is the input variable
● Keyword “return” to return the
output of a function.
● The body of the function
definition will ident with a tab.
String and Integer

● Cannot add string and int.


● String and int can be multiply.
String and Integer (cont.)

● That’s why we need to convert between


string and integer.
● Using function int() and str().
Interactive read input

● Using input() function.


● Output of this function can assigned to variable.
Exercise

● Write a program that:


○ Input: name and year of birth.
○ Output: a string that “I am … and I am ... years old.”
● Example:
Conditional Statement

● “if/else/elif” is the keyword when you want to make decision in


code.
● The block of code after ”if” will run when the statement is
True.
● The block of code after “else” will run when statement is False.
● Operators in statement:
○ ==, >, <, !=
○ ! (not)
○ and, or, in
○ Only variables
Truth table
Loop

● Looping is technique when doing a block of code multiple


times.
● 2 kinds of loop is “while” and “for”.
● Use “while” when a block of code repeats as long as the
condition meets.
● Use “for” to iterate through a sequence.
For loop

● Use “continue” keyword when


skipping the rest of code block.
While loop

● The while will run until the


condition is false.
● Or whenever we use “break”
keyword.
● It is very important to find a way
for the “while” loop to be end.
