Python Basics – Part 1

Let’s start with Python basics, with the help of program .Theory part in posts is just enough to understand the program.

Python Data Type:

  • Numbers
  • Strings
  • List
  • Tuple
  • Dictionary
  1. Numbers :  
    1.  Int                  1 ,10,-145, 22
    2. Float               1.1,0.9,-29.9
    3. Complex        1.4j, 4e+6j
  1. Strings

Way to remember how slices work in string  is to think of the indices as pointing between characters, with the left edge of the first character numbered 0. Then the right edge of the last character of a string of n characters has index n, for example:

“Crazyouters ”  represented in indices form

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
C r a z y r o u t e r s
-11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0

Program Code : Str.py

str.PNG

Output

str_out

 

There are special operators in strings

Program Code : str1.py

str1

Output

str1out

 

3. List

The list is a most versatile datatype available in Python which can be written as a list of comma-separated values (items) between square brackets. Important Continue reading

Trump Tower changed to Dump Tower on Google Maps

Unlike President Obama who said, “History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him,” President-elect Donald Trump bluntly called Catro a “brutal dictator” whose “legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.”Some unknown person with an internet connection also attempted to be blunt, expressing his or her opinion of Donald Trump via Google Maps; the President-elect’s transition headquarters was renamed to the Dump Tower on Google Maps.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Python – Must for Network Engineer

Automation is need of Time.We as network engineers have to go with automation to simplify major chunk of the work done by us.We can not escape from automation.I will be having series of Python posts starting from basics.I  will try to put all  learning  in post in most easiest way.

Let’s start with Basics.What is Python ? As per Wiki ,Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language.

In layman terms , it’s one of the coding  language much simpler, easy to understand and most importantly reduces number of code lines in C++ to fewer lines.

It was created by Guido van Rossum during 1985-1990.

Installation:

Note:We will be doing coding in Python 3.

Windows:  can be installed from Site :http://www.python.org

As The Server Goes, So Goes The World

At this point in the 21st Century, a surprisingly large portion of the manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, marketing, and retailing of every good and service known to humankind is dependent on a piece of circuit board with two Xeon processors welded to it, wrapped in some bent sheet metal with a few blinky lights peeking out of the darkness.

Back in 1885, as the United States was beginning its rise to power, Reverend Josiah Strong declared in his populist book, Our Country: “As America goes, so goes the world.” National borders and national interests still exist, but networks cross boundaries …

  • Quotable Quotes:
    • @skamille: Sometimes I think that human societies just weren't meant to scale to billions of people sharing arbitrary information
    • @joshk0: At @GetArbor we use #kubernetes to host a 30K QPS ad-tech serving platform. Maybe smaller than Pokemon Go but nothing to sneeze at.
