Data Cleaning in Python 🧹

Before analysis, data needs to be cleaned to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Here are the key steps:

πŸ”Ή Steps in Data Cleaning

  1. Remove Duplicates – drop repeated rows.
  2. Handle Missing Values – fill, drop, or impute.
  3. Fix Data Types – ensure correct formats (int, float, datetime).
  4. Handle Outliers – detect & treat extreme values.
  5. Standardize Text – trim spaces, lowercase, fix typos.
  6. Normalize/Scale Data – prepare for modeling.

⚑ Fun Fact: Nearly 70–80% of data analysis time goes into cleaning and preparing data β€” not building models!

✨ Data cleaning may feel boring, but it’s the foundation of trustworthy insights.
