Python Lists are an extremely versatile data type, the next of the Python data types we will explore. Lists (type list) may not seem like from looking at them, but they are an extremely powerful data type. They can hold other Python data types, strings, floats, integers, lists, dictionaries, sets, and tuples. Lists are an ordered […]
The next topic to discuss is Python Variables and Integers from our Python data types. Python Variables We can store objects in Python, and these objects are called variables. Variables are a way for us to store information to be re-used again in our scripts. Variables in Python are written incamel_case and have to have

Continuing our last post, Python Strings, we will explore Python string methods. Python strings have built-in methods that extend their use. It is good to note that it will not change the string when you run the method against the string, as they are immutable. If you want to modify the string, assign the method

Python Strings (type str) is the next Python data type we will explore. Python strings are any data that is wrapped in a single (‘ ‘) or double (“ “) quotes. Strings are an ordered set of characters. You can retrieve elements from their index. You can do this by putting an [] at the
Python allows us to work with integers (type int) and floats (type float), two fundamental data types discussed in a previous blog post about Python Data Types. Python Integers and floats are numerical representations, with the main difference being a floating number has a decimal point, and an integer does not. The Python programming language

Python Data types are an essential part of the Python programming language. Python has built-in data types that we can use to store different kinds of information. The default most common data types are: We will explore integers and floats in more detail in the next post!
Why Should I Care About Learning a Programming Language? What benefit will it give me? This was a question I used to ask myself because I could open a text file, write my configuration out, and find and replace elements of the file. This is what I was doing for a long, long time. Fast

I’m back, and It is good to be back! What seemed like only a few weeks turned out to be about a 4’ish year or so absence. I missed blogging, and boy, has a lot happened in that short 4-year absence! To say I missed doing this blog thing is an understatement. Since my days
When I say OSPF route filtering, I know what some of you think: “Mike, did you bang your head on something? LSDBs have to be consistent across the entire area for OSPF to calculate SPF properly, so how can you filter routes?” There are three ways to filter routes in OSPF, they are: Each of

I was interacting with someone on Cisco Learning Network a few weeks ago. This person was dead set on not retaking ICND 2. He was so close to passing the two times he took it. I didn’t want him to regret not trying at least one more time. While I understand there may have been
