Pandas provides Series (1D) and DataFrame (2D) for data loading, cleaning, and analysis in Python.
What is Pandas?
Pandas is the primary Python library for data analysis. It provides two data structures: Series (1D labelled array) and DataFrame (2D labelled table), with powerful tools for loading, cleaning, transforming, and analysing data.
pip install pandas
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
# Series
s = pd.Series([10, 20, 30], index=['a','b','c'])
# DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({
'name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Carol'],
'age': [28, 34, 25],
'score': [95.5, 87.0, 92.3]
})
print(df.shape) # (3, 3)
print(df.dtypes)
