Day 47 of My Data Analytics Journey !

Today, I explored one of the most important Python libraries used in Data Analytics β€” Pandas 🐼

πŸ“˜ What I Learned:

  • Pandas Library – A powerful open-source Python library used for data manipulation and analysis.
  • I practiced creating a dataset with columns like Name, Age, and Location, and also learned how to add an Index for better data organization.
import pandas as pd

# Creating a simple DataFrame
data = {
    'Name': ['Ramya', 'Visky', 'Maha'],
    'Age': [22, 21, 23],
    'Location': ['Chennai', 'Salem', 'Madurai']
}

df = pd.DataFrame(data, index=['S1', 'S2', 'S3'])
print(df)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

    Name   Age  Location
S1  Ramya   22   Chennai
S2  Visky   21     Salem
S3   Maha   23   Madurai
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

πŸ’‘ Additional Concepts I Learned Today:

πŸ”“ Open Source:

  • Software whose source code is freely available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.
  • Example: Python, Pandas, Linux

πŸ”’ Non Open Source:

  • Software whose source code is private and cannot be modified or shared without permission.
  • Example: Windows OS, MS Office

🧩 Third-Party Library:

  • A library developed by someone other than the official vendor (Python in this case).
  • It adds extra functionality to make coding faster and easier.
  • Example: Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib

πŸš€ Summary:

Today’s focus on Pandas helped me understand how data is structured and manipulated in Python β€” a key skill for any Data Analyst!
