Here's a list of important Pandas functions along with brief denoscriptions:
pd.read_csv() – Reads a CSV file into a DataFrame.
pd.DataFrame() – Creates a DataFrame from various input formats (e.g., lists, dictionaries).
df.head() – Displays the first few rows of the DataFrame.
df.tail() – Displays the last few rows of the DataFrame.
df.info() – Provides a concise summary of the DataFrame (data types, non-null counts).
df.describe() – Provides denoscriptive statistics for numerical columns.
df.columns – Returns the column labels of the DataFrame.
df.index – Returns the index (row labels) of the DataFrame.
df.shape – Returns the dimensions of the DataFrame (rows, columns).
df.dtypes – Returns the data types of each column.
df.isnull() – Detects missing values (returns Boolean values).
df.fillna() – Fills missing values with a specified value.
df.dropna() – Removes missing values from the DataFrame.
df.drop() – Drops specified labels from rows or columns.
df.duplicated() – Returns Boolean Series denoting duplicate rows.
df.drop_duplicates() – Removes duplicate rows from the DataFrame.
df.sort_values() – Sorts the DataFrame by the values of one or more columns.
df.groupby() – Groups data by one or more columns for aggregation.
df.apply() – Applies a function along an axis of the DataFrame.
df.loc[] – Accesses a group of rows and columns by labels or Boolean arrays.
df.iloc[] – Accesses rows and columns by index position.
df.merge() – Merges two DataFrames on common columns or indices.
df.join() – Joins two DataFrames based on their index.
df.concat() – Concatenates multiple DataFrames along a particular axis.
df.pivot_table() – Creates a pivot table for summarizing data.
df.melt() – Unpivots the DataFrame from wide to long format.
df.rename() – Renames columns or index labels of the DataFrame.
df.set_index() – Sets a column as the index of the DataFrame.
df.reset_index() – Resets the index to a default integer index.
pd.to_datetime() – Converts a column or series to datetime format.
pd.cut() – Bins continuous data into discrete intervals.
df.value_counts() – Returns a Series of counts for unique values in a column.
df.corr() – Computes the pairwise correlation between columns.
df.to_csv() – Writes the DataFrame to a CSV file.
df.plot() – Creates basic plots from DataFrame data using Matplotlib.

These functions cover essential operations in data handling, cleaning, analysis, and visualization using Pandas.

COMMON TERMINOLOGIES IN PYTHON - PART 1

Have you ever gotten into a discussion with a programmer before? Did you find some of the Terminologies mentioned strange or you didn't fully understand them?

In this series, we would be looking at the common Terminologies in python.

It is important to know these Terminologies to be able to professionally/properly explain your codes to people and/or to be able to understand what people say in an instant when these codes are mentioned. Below are a few:

IDLE (Integrated Development and Learning Environment) - this is an environment that allows you to easily write Python code. IDLE can be used to execute a single statements and create, modify, and execute Python noscripts.

Python Shell - This is the interactive environment that allows you to type in python code and execute them immediately

System Python - This is the version of python that comes with your operating system

Prompt - usually represented by the symbol ">>>" and it simply means that python is waiting for you to give it some instructions

REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop) - this refers to the sequence of events in your interactive window in form of a loop (python reads the code inputted>the code is evaluated>output is printed)

Argument - this is a value that is passed to a function when called eg print("Hello World")... "Hello World" is the argument that is being passed.

Function - this is a code that takes some input, known as arguments, processes that input and produces an output called a return value. E.g print("Hello World")... print is the function

Return Value - this is the value that a function returns to the calling noscript or function when it completes its task (in other words, Output). E.g.
>>> print("Hello World")
Hello World
Where Hello World is your return value.

Note: A return value can be any of these variable types: handle, integer, object, or string

Script - This is a file where you store your python code in a text file and execute all of the code with a single command

Script files - this is a file containing a group of python noscripts
