Why Use Pandas?
pandas
is a Python library designed for data processing and analysis. Mastering this library is beneficial for data scientists and data analysts alike. With pandas
, you can sort, filter, modify, and visualize your data, as well as calculate useful statistics, allowing you to perform comprehensive analysis.
To utilize this library, you must import it.
# Importing `pandas`
import pandas
For ease of use, it's common to import the library using an alias.
# Importing `pandas` with an alias
import pandas as pd
In this case, pd
serves as an alias. So, when invoking functions from this library in the future, you would do it as follows:
# Importing `pandas` with an alias
import pandas as pd
# Using a function from `pandas`
pd.function()
Swipe to start coding
Import the pandas
library with the pd
alias.
