In this fourth week I started by completing the functions exercise on W3Schools and trying to understand how to create and name a function, alongside using arguments. After that, I used the following code to create a window in which held a button to spawn a cube and have it move in a straight line:

import maya.cmds 

def Create_Animation(Animation_Range):

    cube=cmds.polyCube()

    for i in range(Animation_Range):

        cmds.currentTime( (i+1)*10, edit=True )

        cmds.setKeyframe(cube,v=i, at="translateX")

Range = 10     

if cmds.window( "my_Window", exists = True):

    cmds.deleteUI("my_Window")

window = cmds.window("my_Window", title="Long Name", iconName='Short Name', widthHeight=(200, 55) )        

cmds.columnLayout( adjustableColumn=True )

cmds.button( label='Create Animation' , c = "Create_Animation(Range)" )

cmds.button( label='Close', command=('cmds.deleteUI(\"' + window + '\", window=True)') )

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.showWindow( window )
