Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are used to uniquely identify devices on a network. There are two main versions of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6. In this tutorial, we will explore how to validate IPv4 and IPv6 addresses using regular expressions in Python.
Before we begin, ensure that you have Python installed on your system. You can download and install Python from the official Python website.
IPv4 addresses consist of four octets separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.0.1). Each octet must be a number between 0 and 255. We can use a regular expression to validate IPv4 addresses in Python.
IPv6 addresses are longer and include hexadecimal characters (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). We can use a regular expression to validate IPv6 addresses in Python.
