bookChallenge: Standardize Categorical Values

When working with real-world data, you often encounter categorical values that are meant to represent the same thing but are written in different ways. For example, a survey might record responses such as Yes, yes, and YES in the same column. These inconsistencies can cause problems when you try to analyze or summarize your data, since Python and pandas treat these as distinct values. Standardizing these entries is essential to ensure your data is consistent and your results are accurate.
