DETAILED EXPLANATION OF HOW PYTHON IS USED IN EACH DOMAIN

1. Sales & Marketing

Data Collection:
- Web Scraping Example:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

import requests

url = 'https://example.com/products'

response = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')

 products = []

for product in soup.find_all('div', class_='product'):

name = product.find('h2').text

price = product.find('span', class_='price').text

products.append({'name': name, 'price': price})

print(products)

This script scrapes product names and prices from a website and stores them in a list.

Data Cleaning & Preprocessing:

- Handling Missing Data:

import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv('sales_data.csv')

data.fillna({'discount': 0}, inplace=True) → Replace missing discounts with 0

Data Analysis & Visualization:

- Segmentation Analysis:

import pandas as pd

import seaborn as sns

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = pd.read_csv('customer_data.csv')

sns.histplot(data['purchase_amount'], bins=20)

plt.title('Purchase Amount Distribution')

plt.show()
Predictive Analytics:

- Sales Forecasting:

from fbprophet import Prophet

import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv('sales_data.csv')

df = data[['date', 'sales']]

df.columns = ['ds', 'y'] Prophet requires 'ds' and 'y' columns

model = Prophet()

model.fit(df)

future = model.make_future_dataframe(periods=30)

forecast = model.predict(future)

model.plot(forecast)

plt.show()

2. Finance

Data Collection:
- Financial Data APIs:

import requests

api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'

url=f'https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=MSFT&apikey={api_ke
y}'

response = requests.get(url)
 data = response.json()

print(data['Time Series (Daily)'])

Data Cleaning & Preprocessing:

- Handling Missing Data:

import pandas as pd

financial_data = pd.read_csv('financial_data.csv')

financial_data.fillna({'revenue': financial_data['revenue'].median()}, inplace=True)

Statistical Analysis:

- Ratio Analysis:

import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv('financials.csv')

data['ROE'] = data['net_income'] / data['shareholder_equity']
