Pandas — Get Started

First Pandas program

import pandas as pd

# Create DataFrame
data = {
    'name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'],
    'age': [25, 30, 35],
    'city': ['NYC', 'LA', 'Chicago']
}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df)

Basic operations

# View data
print(df.head())
print(df.info())
print(df.describe())

# Select column
print(df['name'])

# Filter
print(df[df['age'] > 25])

Loading data

# From CSV
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')

# From dictionary
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2], 'B': [3, 4]})

# From list
df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [3, 4]], columns=['A', 'B'])

Mini Practice

1. Create a DataFrame
2. View basic info
3. Select columns
