Pandas is the tool that makes working with data in Python actually enjoyable. If you're dealing with CSV files, databases, or any structured data, Pandas is your best friend.

What is Pandas?

Pandas gives you DataFrames - think of them as super-powered Excel spreadsheets in Python. You can filter, group, analyze, and transform data with just a few lines of code.

Reading Data

Pandas can read almost anything - CSV files, Excel files, JSON, SQL databases. One line of code and your data is ready to work with.

Cleaning Data

Real data is messy. Missing values, duplicates, wrong formats - Pandas has tools for all of it. I'll show you the most common problems and how to fix them.

Analyzing Data

Once your data is clean, the fun begins. Group by categories, calculate averages, find patterns - Pandas makes it all easy.

Common Questions & Answers

Q1

How do I read a CSV file in Pandas?

A

Use pd.read_csv() with the file path. Pandas automatically figures out the format and creates a DataFrame. You can also read from URLs, which is super convenient.

python
import pandas as pd

# Read from file
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')

# Read from URL
df = pd.read_csv('https://example.com/data.csv')

# See first few rows
print(df.head())

# Get info about the data
print(df.info())
Q2

How do I handle missing values?

A

Use isnull() to find them, dropna() to remove rows with missing values, or fillna() to fill them with a default value. Most of the time, you'll want to fill them with the average or median.

python
import pandas as pd

# Check for missing values
print(df.isnull().sum())

# Remove rows with missing values
df_clean = df.dropna()

# Fill missing values with average
df['column'] = df['column'].fillna(df['column'].mean())

# Or fill with a specific value
df = df.fillna(0)
