Panda lib

Data analysis and manipulation

Use case: Analyze user behavior, product metrics and financial data. This is used to help clean data, manipulate and analyze large datasets quickly.

Breaking down the below code:

  • import pandas as pd - This imports the pandas library which is used for working with tables, datasets and spreadsheets in python. as pd gives pandas a short name (pd)

  • df = pd.read_csv("user_data.csv") - .read_csv() is a pandas function that reads a csv file and ocnvert s it into a data frame. this reads csv file named user_data.csv. df =.... stores the data from the CSV file to the variable called df(stands for DataFrame) which is like a table (similar to excel spreadsheet) that organizes data in rows and columns.

  • print(df.head()) - df.head() is a pandas function that returns the first 5 rows of the dataframe and print outputs on the screen. example print(df.head(10)) to show first 10 rows

import pandas as pd  # Load user engagement data

df = pd.read_csv("user_data.csv")  # Read the CSV file into a DataFrame

print(df.head())  # View the first few rows of the dataset
