Wrap-up

Well done!
You've learned about why security analysts use Python and the basic structure of a program.
You've even written some lines of Python code.
Let's review what you learned so far.
You first learned about the basics of programming and why it's a very important tool for security analysts.
You also learned some of the basic concepts of how programming languages work.
You then learned to recognize data types in Python.
We focused on string, integer, float, Boolean, and list data.
Next, we focused on working with variables.
You then learned all about conditional statements, and how to check for logical conditions using Python statements.
Lastly, we worked with iterative statements and discussed the two types of loops: for and while loops.
You'll use this knowledge as you progress through this course and in your career as a security analyst.
In the next section, we'll explore other important components of Python, including functions.
