Day 4

I am learning Python for automating IT tasks and documenting my process/progress here.

Day 4. I am happy to have this to focus on during month 9 of the pandemic. Let’s see if I remember anything from the last 3 days. Here goes.

Today I am learning about comparing and BOOLEANS and CONDITIONALS.

== equals is equal to
!= equals is not equal to
”cat” > “Cat”

Ugh I remember when Ted Shab tried to teach me Visual Basic in 1995 and I quit after one lesson because I could not understand…IDK…the high level concepts of how any of it worked, what the utility could possibly be, what any of us could use a programming language for. I am somewhat rubbing up against a similar high-level conceptual block but I will persist and I will also look for some real-world examples of Python for IT Automation to try and get these concepts into my head.

This was much easier to figure out after I kind of tore my hair out on the last one. Practice practice practice is the key.
