Powershell Python Comparision

Python vs. Powershell

Task	PowerShell	Python
Hello, World!	Write-Host “Hello, World!”	print(“Hello, World!”)
Variables	$x = 5	x = 5
	$y = “Hello”	y = “Hello”
Data Types	$list_example = @(1, 2, 3)	list_example = [1, 2, 3]
	$dict_example = @{‘key’ = ‘value’}	dict_example = {‘key’: ‘value’}
Conditional Statements (if-else)	if ($x -gt 3) {	if x > 3:
	Write-Host “x is greater than 3”	print(“x is greater than 3”)
	} else {	} else:
	Write-Host “x is not greater than 3”	print(“x is not greater than 3”)
Loops (for)	for ($i = 0; $i -lt 5; $i++) {	for i in range(5):
	Write-Host $i	print(i)
	}
Loops (while)	$i = 0	i = 0
	while ($i -lt 5) {	while i < 5:
	Write-Host $i	print(i)
	$i++	i += 1
	}
Foreach Loop	$numbers = @(1, 2, 3, 4)	numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
	foreach ($number in $numbers) {	for number in numbers:
	Write-Host $number	print(number)
	}
Foreach-Object	$numbers	ForEach-Object {	numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
	Write-Host $_	for number in numbers:
	}	print(number)
For Each ($element in $collection)	$fruits = @(“Apple”, “Banana”, “Cherry”)	fruits = [“Apple”, “Banana”, “Cherry”]
	foreach ($fruit in $fruits) {	for fruit in fruits:
	Write-Host $fruit	print(fruit)
	}
Arrays	$numbers = @(1, 2, 3, 4)	numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]
	$first_number = $numbers[0]	first_number = numbers[0]
Dictionaries	$person = @{‘name’ = ‘Alice’; ‘age’ = 30}	person = {‘name’: ‘Alice’, ‘age’: 30}
	$name = $person[‘name’]	name = person[‘name’]
I/O	$user_input = Read-Host “Enter something: “	user_input = input(“Enter something: “)
	Write-Host “You entered: $user_input”	print(“You entered:”, user_input)
File Handling	$content = Get-Content -Path ‘file.txt’	with open(‘file.txt’, ‘r’) as file:
	Set-Content -Path ‘file.txt’ -Value “New text”	content = file.read()
SSH Connection	Via SSH cmdlets or SSH.NET library	Requires external libraries (e.g., Paramiko for SSH)
Working with JSON	$data = @{	import json
	name = “John”	data = {‘name’: ‘John’, ‘age’: 30}
	age = 30	json_string = json.dumps(data)
	}
	$json_string = $data	ConvertTo-Json
Working with APIs (Advanced)	$base_url = “https://api.example.com”	import requests
	$endpoint = “/weather”	headers = {“Authorization”: “Bearer YOUR_API_KEY”}
	$query_parameters = @{	params = {“location”: “New York”}
	“location” = “New York”
	}	try:
	$headers = @{“Authorization” = “Bearer YOUR_API_KEY”}	response = requests.get(base_url + endpoint, headers=headers, params=params)
	try {	response.raise_for_status()
	$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri ($base_url + $endpoint) -Method Get -Headers $headers -Query $query_parameters -ErrorAction Stop	api_data = response.json()
	} catch {	print(“Weather in New York:”)
	Write-Host “Error: $_”	print(“Temperature:”, api_data[“temperature”])
	return }	except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
Making a POST Request (Advanced)	$post_url = “https://api.example.com/data”	post_url = “https://api.example.com/data”
	$post_headers = @{	post_headers = {
	“Api-Key” = “your_api_key_here”	“Api-Key”: “your_api_key_here”
	}	}
	$post_body = @{	post_data = {
	“key” = “value”	“key”: “value”
	“nested” = @{	“nested”: {
	“subkey” = “subvalue”	“subkey”: “subvalue”
	}	}
	}
	$post_json = $post_body	ConvertTo-Json	post_json = json.dumps(post_data)
	$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $post_url -Method Post -Headers $post_headers -Body $post_json -ContentType “application/json”	try:
	$apiData = $response	ConvertFrom-Json	response = requests.post(post_url, json=post_data, headers=post_headers)
	$apiData.propertyName	api_data = response.json()
