Learning NumPy and pandas
1. NumPy (Numerical Python)
Purpose: Work with numerical data using arrays (faster and more efficient than Python lists).
Installation: Run `pip install numpy`.
Key Concepts:
1. Creating Arrays:
import numpy as np
# 1D array
arr1 = [Link]([1, 2, 3])
# 2D array
arr2 = [Link]([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
2. Basic Operations:
arr = [Link]([1, 2, 3])
print(arr + 1) # [2, 3, 4] (element-wise addition)
print(arr * 2) # [2, 4, 6] (element-wise multiplication)
3. Useful Functions:
[Link]((2, 3)) # 2x3 array of zeros
[Link]((3, 3)) # 3x3 array of ones
[Link](arr) # Sum of elements
[Link](arr) # Average
2. pandas (Panel Data)
Learning NumPy and pandas
Purpose: Work with structured data (tables).
Installation: Run `pip install pandas`.
Key Concepts:
1. Main Data Structures:
- Series: One-dimensional data (like a list with labels).
- DataFrame: Two-dimensional data (like a table).
2. Creating a DataFrame:
import pandas as pd
data = {"Name": ["Alice", "Bob"], "Age": [25, 30]}
df = [Link](data)
print(df)
3. Reading and Writing Files:
df = pd.read_csv("[Link]") # Read a CSV file
df.to_csv("[Link]", index=False) # Save to CSV
4. Basic Operations:
print(df["Name"]) # Access a column
print([Link][0]) # Access a row by position
print(df[df["Age"] > 25]) # Filter rows
5. Common Functions:
Learning NumPy and pandas
[Link]() # Summary of numerical data
[Link]() # Info about columns and data types
df.sort_values("Age") # Sort by a column
[Link]("Age", axis=1) # Drop a column
