 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' ]) ...

Here's to Know Data lake Vs Database

In a data lake, data stored internally in a repository. You can call it a blob. The data in the lake a no-format data, but you need a schema for the database.  Data lake Repository Database In the database, the Schema definition you need before you store data on it. It should follow Codd's rules. Here data is completely formatted. The data stores here in Tables, so you need SQL language to read the records. Poor performance in terms of scalability. Data lake It doesn't have any format - it's just a dump. You can send this dump to the Hadoop repository for data analysis. This repository can be incremental. You can build a database. The data lake is a dump of data with no format. It needs a pre-format before it sends for analytics. Data security and encryption: You need these before you send data to Hadoop. In real-time, you need to pre-process data. This data you need to send to the data warehouse to get insights.
