Q.1 List two key features of Pandas.
Ans. The two features of Pandas are :
(i) It can process a variety of data set in different formats : time series, tabular
heterogeneous arrays and matrix data.
(ii) If facilitates loading and importing data from varied sources such as CSV and
DB/SQL.

Q.2 What are the benefits of Pandas ?

Ans. Benefits of Pandas are :
(i) Data representation : It ca easily represent data in form naturally suited for data
analysis via its DataFrame and series data structures in a concise manner.
(ii) Data sub setting and filtering : It provides for easy sub setting and filtering of
data, procedures that are a staple of doing analysis.
Q.3 What is series ? Explain with an example.
Ans. Pandas series is one dimensional labelled array capable of holding data of any type
(integer, string, float, Python objects etc.) The axis labels are collectively called index.
Example :
import pandas as pd
data=pd.Series([1,2,3,4,5])
print(data)

 SA – Short Answer Question (for 3 Marks)
Q. 1 Consider two objects a and b.
a is a list whereas b is a Series. Both have values 10,20,25,50.

What will be the output of the following two statements considering that the above objects
have been created already
a. print(a*2) b. print(b*2)
Justify your answer.
Ans.
a. will give the output as:
[10,20,25,50,10,20,25,50]
b. will give the output as
0 20
1 40
2 50
3 100
Justification: In the first statement a represents a list so when a list is multiplied by a number, it
is replicated that many number of times.
The second b represents a series. When a series is multiplied by a value, then each element of the
series is multiplied by that number.

Q.2 Explain the data structure in Pandas

Ans. Data structure is defined as the storage and management of the data for its efficient and
easy access in the future where the data is collected, modified and the various types of
operations are performed on the data respectively.
Pandas provides two data structures for processing the data, which are described below :
(i) Series : It is an one dimensional object similar to an array, list or column in a
table. It will assign a labelled index to each item in the series. By default, each
item will receive an index label from 0 to N, where N is the length of the series
minus one.
(ii) DataFrame : It is a tabular data structure comprised of rows and columns. Data
Frame is defined as a standard way to store data and has two different indexes
i.e., row index and column index.

Q.3 What is slicing ?

Ans. Slicing is a powerful approach to retrieve subsets of data from a Pandas object. A slice
object is built using a syntax of start : end : step, the segments representing the first item, last
item and the increment between each item that you would like as the step.

Q.4 Define the following terms

(i) .loc[ ] (ii) .iloc [ ]
Ans. .loc [ ] :This attribute is used to access a group of rows and columns by label(s) or a
Boolean array in the given series object.
Syntax : Series.loc
.iloc[ ] : This attributes enables purely integer location based indexing for selection by
position over the given series object.
Syntax : Series.iloc
