 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' ]) ...

2 Multiline Commenting Ideas in Python

Here are two ways you can comment out multiple lines in python. Python Multiline Comments These are two popular methods Viz Backslash and Triple quote methods. 1. Backslash method >>> s = "This is a test of the emergency broadcast system" \ … " and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text" \ … " that is more than 80 characters on a single line" >>> print(s) This is a test of the emergency broadcast system and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text that is more than 80 characters on a single line 2. Triple quote method >>> s1 = """ This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. … and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text … that is more than 80 characters on a single line … """ >>> print(s1) This is a test of the emergency broadcast system. and it will display an emergency if you put a line of text that is more than 80 characters on a single l...

How to Explain String Immutability in Python Correctly

Image
Here is an answer to explain the immutability of Strings in Python. It means that you can't modify the string. Due to this, you can use strings securely in many places of your project. How to check string immutability Here is an example. In the python shell, assign a value of your choice to a string. Here my choice is ABCD, and I have assigned it to myString. I have tried to replace A with Z. But, it gave an error due to the immutability of strings. >>> myString = 'ABCD' >>>myString [0] = 'Z' What is learning here The strings immutability is an interview question. In interviews, you can say that strings are immutable, and you can't replace its data. Benefits of strings immutability It saves a lot of time since the data in strings are immutable. It results in high performance. String objects you can reuse as no one can modify its value. Strings are elemental. So no activity can change its value ( these are more like numbers).
