Linux uses a lot of python "all over the place". Much of our infrastructure is programmed in python. Overall it's widely used and an easy language to learn. The only time, it is hard, is when people pump it with "fluff" or now the AI Slop to make it long.

If you are in cyber you need to learn python.

If you love Linux you need to learn python.

If you want to be involved in AI you need to learn python.

The Zen of Python [I did not make these rules]

∙ Beautiful is better than ugly

∙ Explicit is better than implicit.

∙ Simple is better than complex.

∙ Complex is better than complicated.

∙ Flat is better than nested.

∙ Sparse is better than dense.

∙ Readability counts.

∙ Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.

∙ Although practicality beats purity.

∙ Errors should never pass silently. (Unless explicitly silenced.)

∙ In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

∙ There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

∙ Now is better than never.

∙ Although never is often better than right now.

∙ If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.

∙ If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.

Operators

** --Exponent

% --Modulus

// --Integer division/Floored Exponent

/ --Division

* --Multiplication

- --Subtraction

+ --Addition

Expressions

Expressions are values combined with operators and they always evaluate down to a single value.
White space between operators does not conflict. BASH gives me grey hair on white spaces.
The precedence of Python math operations is very similar to that of mathematics. The ** operator is evaluated first. The *,/,//, and % are evaluated last.
Like mathematics you can override the usual precedence with parentheses.

Data

A data type is a category for a value. Every Value belongs to a data type.

integer: A whole number:

EX: >> integer=1

[A boolean is an integer of one or 0]

Float: A number that can be fractional:

EX: >> float = 1.1

String: A quotation of characters and/or numbers

EX: string = "Hello World 1!" or string = 'Hello World 1!'

Strings in python are also known as strs (pronounced stirs).
Knowing the slang in the field helps because it does get used.
Strings are surrounded by quotes or double quotes.

Assignment Statements.

Storing a value of a data type into a variable is called and assignment statement.

You can call back a value in a variable after the assignment statement by its name which is case sensitive.

Storing the value in a variable for the first time is called "initialized"

Variables.

Variables do have a nomenclature they have to follow.

It can only be one word with no spaces.

It can only be numbers, characters, and the underscore.

It can't begin with a number.

In a series (due to length) I will break these down further, and link them together with "hands on."

You will be able to follow along and not just read.

I do not use generative AI for this. I will also tweak the content over time, to screw with the big tech AIs. I am sarcastic man.
