More on conditionals in Python
Previously, you explored conditional statements and how they’re useful in automating tasks in Python. So far, you’ve focused on the if and else keywords. In this reading, you’ll review these and learn another keyword, elif. You’ll also learn how you can appl...
For loops
We just learned about conditional statements and how they can be developed to allow computers to make decisions.But sometimes we need our programs to simply count or perform a task over and over again.When it comes to tasks that are tedious, it's normal for hu...
While loops
Previously, we introduced iterative statements in Python and focused on for loops.An iterative statement is code that repeatedly executes a set of instructions.In this video, we'll explore another type of iterative statement: the while loop.When we used for lo...
More on loops in Python
Previously, you explored iterative statements. An iterative statement is code that repeatedly executes a set of instructions. Depending on the criteria, iterative statements execute zero or more times. We iterated through code using both for loops and while lo...

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 import...
Reference guide: Python concepts from module 1
This reference guide contains Python language introduced during module 1. The guide is organized into the following sections: Comments Functions Conditional statements Iterative statements Within each section, items generally appear in...
Glossary terms from module 1
Terms and definitions from Course 7, Module 1 Automation: The use of technology to reduce human and manual effort to perform common and repetitive tasks Boolean data: Data that can only be one of two values: either True or False Command-line interface: A te...
Welcome to module 2
Welcome back to our Python journey!In the previous videos, we learned all about the basics of Python.We started at the very beginning by understanding how security analysts use Python.We learned several building blocks of Python.We went into detail learning ab...
Python functions in cybersecurity
Previously, you explored how to define and call your own functions. In this reading, you’ll revisit what you learned about functions and examine how functions can improve efficiency in a cybersecurity setting. Functions in cybersecurity A function is a sec...
Introduction to functions
As the complexity of our programs grow, it's also likely that we'll reuse the same lines of code.Writing this code multiple times would be time-consuming, but luckily we have a way to manage this.We can use functions.A function is a section of code that can be...
Create a basic function
Let's start our exploration of user-defined functions by creating and then running a very simple function.The first thing we need to do is define our function.When we define a function, we basically tell Python that it exists.The def keyword is needed for this...
Use parameters in functions
Previously, we defined and called our first function.It didn't require any information from outside the function, but other functions might.This means we need to talk about using parameters in functions.In Python, a parameter is an object that is included in a...
Return statements
We previously learned how we can pass arguments into a function.We can do more than pass information into a function.We can also send information out of one!Return statements allow us to do this.A return statement is a Python statement that executes inside a f...
Functions and variables
Previously, you focused on working with multiple parameters and arguments in functions and returning information from functions. In this reading, you’ll review these concepts. You'll also be introduced to a new concept: global and local variables. Working wit...
Explore built-in functions
Now that we know how to create our own functions, let's also explore a few of Python's built-in functions.As we discussed previously, built-in functions are functions that exist within Python and can be called directly.Our only job is to call them by their nam...
Work with built-in functions
Previously, you explored built-in functions in Python, including print(), type(), max(), and sorted(). Built-in functions are functions that exist within Python and can be called directly. In this reading, you’ll explore these further and also learn about the ...
Activity: Define and call a function
Introduction As a security analyst, when you're writing out Python code to automate a certain task, you'll often find yourself needing to reuse the same block of code more than once. This is why functions are important. You can call that function whenever...
Modules and libraries
Hello again!Previously, we learned about built-in functions in Python.Built-in functions come standard with every version of Python and consist of functions such as print(), type(), max(), and many more.To access additional pre-built functions, you can import ...
