Summary  
This chapter covers using pandas DataFrame.count() to count non-null entries per column or in a specific column, and DataFrame.sum() to compute the sum of numeric or boolean columns (including summing an isna() boolean mask to count missing values).

General domain of usage  
Data analysis

`pandas` offers the `count()` method, which counts all **non-null** cells (neither `None` nor `NaN`) for each column.
```python
df = pd.read_csv(file.csv)
number_of_cells = df.count()
```

To find the **count** of non-null values in a specific column, use the following syntax:
```python
df = pd.read_csv(file.csv)
number_of_cells = df['name of the column'].count()
```

`pandas` also provides the `sum()` method. This method calculates the sum of values for each column, but it only works with **numeric** or **boolean** columns.
```python
df = pd.read_csv(file.csv)
total = df.sum()
```

Since the `isna()` method returns a **boolean DataFrame**, you can use the following syntax to calculate the number of missing values for each of the columns:

```python
missing_values_count = df.isna().sum()
```

To find the sum of values in a particular column, use the following syntax:
```python
df = pd.read_csv(file.csv)
total = df['name of the column'].sum()
```
