 Whether you're a beginner or brushing up on your skills, these are the real-world questions Python learners ask most about key libraries in data science. Let’s dive in! 🐍 🐼 Pandas: Data Manipulation Made Easy 1. How do I handle missing data in a DataFrame? df.fillna( 0 ) # Replace NaNs with 0 df.dropna() # Remove rows with NaNs df.isna(). sum () # Count missing values per column 2. How can I merge or join two DataFrames? pd.merge(df1, df2, on= 'id' , how= 'inner' ) # inner, left, right, outer 3. What is the difference between loc[] and iloc[] ? loc[] uses labels (e.g., column names) iloc[] uses integer positions df.loc[ 0 , 'name' ] # label-based df.iloc[ 0 , 1 ] # index-based 4. How do I group data and perform aggregation? df.groupby( 'category' )[ 'sales' ]. sum () 5. How can I convert a column to datetime format? df[ 'date' ] = pd.to_datetime(df[ 'date' ]) ...

How to Search for Single CHAR in Python Using Regular-expression

Here is the logic for searching single CHAR using regular expression(Regex). For instance, we use wildcards to search for anything on our computers. The Regex in Python works similarly.

Regular Expression


Regular expression

People use asterisk * for searching any document. For instance, if you type *.pdf, it returns all the pdfs available in the location (where you are conducting your search). Similar way, in Python, you can search using regular expressions.

Import Regex 

The first thing you need to do is import 're' if you want to work with regular expressions.


Example program: search for single CHAR

To match any single character, you can use [….]. Below, you will find an example to search for: 'l' or 'a' or 'b'

import re
pattern = r'[lab]' sequence = 'we love python' obj = re.search(pattern,sequence) if obj: print("We found a match here @",obj.group()) else: print("Sorry no match found.")

The word 'love' has the letter 'l'. Hence, a match is found.
