00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:03,930
I'm going to start Python 3 on the spoon to host.

2
00:00:03,930 --> 00:00:10,510
What is the answer to this question.

3
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:14,190
In other words what will be displayed when I press enter here.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,910
What do you think is the answer.

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,460
Notice CLOs string.

6
00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:31,750
This is a string so as an example if I set a 2 network automation as a variable and I ask python what

7
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:34,100
type is a notice it's a string.

8
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:39,610
A string is basically characters that you've put together kind of like a sentence or some other kind

9
00:00:39,610 --> 00:00:40,360
of text.

10
00:00:40,450 --> 00:00:45,540
You need to know how to work with strings if you're doing network automation you'll probably spend a

11
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:49,770
lot more time working with strings than you will do with mathematical functions.

12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,570
A lot of Python courses concentrate very heavily on mathematical functions.

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,890
That's not something that network engineers often need to work with as an example we're not going to

14
00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:03,820
be doing calculus when extracting conflicts from a rod or switch.

15
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:08,100
We're more likely going to be working with strings so it's important that you know how to work with

16
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:09,360
strings in Python.
