Output:

print(df.head())

head() is a method used in Python pandas library to view the first few rows of a DataFrame or Series. By default, it displays the first 5 rows, but you can specify the number of rows you want to see by passing an integer argument to the method. This method is useful for quickly inspecting the data in a DataFrame or Series and getting a sense of its structure and content.

print(df.info())

.info() is a method in the pandas library in Python used to obtain a summary of a DataFrame or Series. It provides information about the data type of each column, the number of non-null values, and the memory usage of the DataFrame. This method is useful for understanding the structure and content of a dataset, as well as identifying missing or incorrect data. It can also be used to optimize memory usage by identifying opportunities to convert data types or remove unnecessary columns.

print(df.shape)

.shape is an attribute in the pandas library in Python used to return the dimensions (number of rows and columns) of a DataFrame or Series as a tuple. For a DataFrame, the first element of the tuple represents the number of rows, while the second element represents the number of columns. For a Series, the tuple contains only one element, representing the length of the Series. This attribute is useful for quickly checking the size of a dataset and for performing operations that require knowledge of the dataset's dimensions, such as reshaping, concatenation, or indexing.

.describe() is a method in the pandas library in Python used to generate descriptive statistics of a DataFrame or Series. It provides information about the central tendency, dispersion, and shape of the dataset's distribution, including count, mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and quartiles. This method is useful for gaining insights into the data and identifying any outliers or anomalies. It can also be used to compare different datasets or subsets of data to understand how they differ in terms of their distribution and summary statistics.

.values is a method in the pandas library in Python used to return a NumPy array of the values in a DataFrame or Series. It returns a 2D NumPy array for a DataFrame and a 1D NumPy array for a Series. This method is useful for converting a pandas DataFrame or Series to a NumPy array for compatibility with other libraries and functions that accept NumPy arrays. It can also be used to access and manipulate the underlying data in a DataFrame or Series directly, without having to work through the pandas library. However, it is generally recommended to use pandas methods for data manipulation and analysis, as they provide a more convenient and efficient interface for working with structured data.

.columns is an attribute in the pandas library in Python used to return a list of the column names in a DataFrame. It is a useful method for quickly inspecting the column names of a dataset and for selecting specific columns for further analysis. It can also be used to rename columns by assigning a new list of column names to the attribute. For example, if you have a DataFrame called df, you can rename its columns by assigning a list of new column names to df.columns.

print(df.index)

.index is an attribute in the pandas library in Python used to return the index labels of a DataFrame or Series. For a DataFrame, the index labels represent the row labels, while for a Series, the index labels represent the labels for each element in the Series. This attribute is useful for accessing and manipulating the index labels directly, such as selecting specific rows or reordering the rows based on the index labels. It can also be used to set a new index by assigning a new index object to the attribute, for example, by assigning a list of new index labels to df.index .

print(df.sort_values("server_name"))

use sortvalues with .head()

Sorting in descending order

.sort_values(ascending=False) is a method in the pandas library in Python used to sort a DataFrame or Series in descending order based on one or more columns. It works the same as the .sort_values() method, but with the addition of the ascending=False parameter, which reverses the default ascending order to descending order. By default, it sorts the DataFrame or Series in descending order based on the values in the specified column(s). It can also sort based on multiple columns by passing a list of column names to the method. This method is useful for quickly reordering and prioritizing the data in a dataset based on specific criteria in descending order. It can also be used to identify patterns and relationships in the data by sorting on different columns and examining the resulting patterns in descending order.

Sorting by multiple variables

print(df.sort_values(["server_name", "location"]).head())

.sort_values() with multiple variables is a method in the pandas library in Python used to sort a DataFrame or Series based on multiple columns. It can sort based on two or more columns by passing a list of column names to the method. The first column name in the list is the primary sort column, followed by the secondary, tertiary, and so on. If two or more rows have the same value in the primary sort column, then the method will sort those rows based on the secondary column, and so on. This method is useful for prioritizing and sorting the data in a dataset based on multiple criteria. It can be used to identify patterns and relationships in the data by sorting on different combinations of columns and examining the resulting patterns.

Subsetting columns

Subsetting columns is a technique in the pandas library in Python used to select and extract specific columns from a DataFrame or Series. It involves specifying the column name(s) or index location(s) of the desired column(s) within the square brackets of the DataFrame or Series object. For example, if you have a DataFrame called df with columns named "name", "age", and "gender", you can extract only the "name" and "age" columns by using the code df[['name', 'age']]. Alternatively, you can use the index location of the columns, such as df.iloc[:, 0:2], which would extract the first two columns of the DataFrame. This technique is useful for focusing on specific columns of interest and reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed, especially when working with large datasets

Subsetting multiple columns

print(df["ram"] > 8)

The command df["ram"] > 8 is used to create a boolean mask in a pandas DataFrame called df based on a condition, where the condition is checking if the values in the "ram" column are greater than 8.

Here's a brief description of the command:

• df["ram"] refers to the "ram" column in the DataFrame df.
• > 8 is a comparison operator that checks if the values in the "ram" column are greater than 8. This will result in a boolean mask with True values where the condition is met and False values where the condition is not met.

The resulting output of the command will be a series of boolean values, with True values corresponding to rows where the value in the "ram" column is greater than 8, and False values where the value is less than or equal to 8. This boolean mask can be used to subset or filter the original DataFrame to only include the rows where the condition is met, such as df[df["ram"] > 8].

Subsetting based on text data

Subsetting based on text data is a technique used in pandas to extract specific rows from a DataFrame based on the content of a text column. This involves using boolean indexing to create a boolean mask that checks if a specific text pattern or substring exists in a column of text data.

For example, if you have a DataFrame with a column of text data called "Name", you can extract only the rows where the "Name" column contains the word "John" by using the code df[df["Name"].str.contains("John")]. The str.contains() method searches for the specified text pattern within the "Name" column and returns a boolean mask indicating which rows match the condition. The resulting boolean mask is then used to subset the original DataFrame to only include the rows where the condition is met.

This technique is useful when working with text data and can be used to filter and extract specific subsets of data based on patterns or keywords within the text. Other string methods, such as str.startswith(), str.endswith(), and str.match(), can also be used for more specific string operations.

print(df[df["location"] == "New York"])

The command df[df["location"] == "New York"] is used to subset a pandas DataFrame called df based on a condition, where the condition is checking if the values in the "location" column are equal to "New York".

Here's a brief description of the command:

• df["location"] refers to the "location" column in the DataFrame df.
• == "New York" is a comparison operator that checks if the values in the "location" column are equal to "New York". This will result in a boolean mask with True values where the condition is met and False values where the condition is not met.

The boolean mask is then used to subset the original DataFrame by using it inside square brackets, resulting in a new DataFrame that only includes the rows where the "location" column is equal to "New York". This command can be used to filter and focus on specific subsets of data within the original DataFrame.

Subsetting based on dates

Subsetting based on dates is a technique used in pandas to extract specific rows from a DataFrame based on date values in a column. This involves using boolean indexing to create a boolean mask that checks if a date falls within a certain range or satisfies a specific condition.

For example, if you have a DataFrame with a column of date data called "Date", you can extract only the rows where the "Date" column falls within a specific date range by using the code df[(df["Date"] >= start_date) & (df["Date"] <= end_date)]. Here, start_date and end_date are variables representing the start and end dates of the desired date range. The & operator is used to combine the two boolean conditions, and the resulting boolean mask is then used to subset the original DataFrame to only include the rows where the condition is met.

This technique is useful when working with time series data and can be used to filter and extract specific subsets of data based on date ranges or other date-related conditions. Other date/time functions, such as pd.to_datetime(), can also be used to convert strings or other data types to date values for use in date-based operations.

print(df[df["date"] < "2019-07-04"])

Subsetting based on multiple conditions

Subsetting based on multiple conditions is a technique used in pandas to extract specific rows from a DataFrame that satisfy multiple criteria. This involves using boolean indexing to create a boolean mask that checks if a row satisfies two or more conditions.

For example, if you have a DataFrame with columns called "Gender" and "Age", you can extract only the rows where "Gender" is "Female" and "Age" is greater than or equal to 30 by using the code df[(df["Gender"] == "Female") & (df["Age"] >= 30)]. Here, the & operator is used to combine the two boolean conditions, and the resulting boolean mask is then used to subset the original DataFrame to only include the rows where both conditions are met.

This technique can be used to filter and extract specific subsets of data based on multiple criteria, which can be especially useful in large datasets where only a small subset of the data is of interest. Other logical operators, such as | for "or" conditions and ~ for negation, can also be used to create more complex boolean expressions for subsetting data.

is_name = df["server_name"] == "server1"

is_loc = df["location"] == "New York"

Subsetting using .isin()

Subsetting using .isin() is a technique used in pandas to extract specific rows from a DataFrame that match a set of values in a particular column. This involves using the .isin() method, which checks whether each element in a column is contained in a set of specified values and returns a boolean mask.

For example, if you have a DataFrame with a column of categorical data called "Fruit", you can extract only the rows where the "Fruit" column contains the values "Apple" or "Banana" by using the code df[df["Fruit"].isin(["Apple", "Banana"])]. The .isin() method checks whether each element in the "Fruit" column is contained in the set of specified values, which is ["Apple", "Banana"] in this case, and returns a boolean mask indicating which rows match the condition. The resulting boolean mask is then used to subset the original DataFrame to only include the rows where the condition is met.

This technique is useful when working with categorical data and can be used to filter and extract specific subsets of data based on a specific set of values in a column. Other similar methods, such as .str.contains() for text data and .between() for numerical data, can also be used to extract data based on more specific conditions.

loc = (df["location"].isin(["New York", "London"]))

print(df[loc])

New columns

df["avg_new"] = df["ram"]/100

Multiple manipulations

Multiple manipulations is a term used to describe the process of combining multiple data manipulation techniques in pandas to extract, transform, and analyze specific subsets of data from a larger dataset.

This often involves chaining multiple methods and functions together in a specific order to achieve the desired output. For example, you can use techniques such as filtering, grouping, aggregating, and sorting to extract specific subsets of data based on multiple conditions, and then transform or analyze the data using mathematical or statistical functions.

Multiple manipulations can be particularly useful when working with large datasets and complex data structures, as it allows you to extract and analyze specific subsets of data based on multiple criteria, and then transform or summarize the data to gain insights and make informed decisions. Pandas offers a wide range of built-in functions and methods to perform various data manipulations, and the ability to chain them together makes it a powerful tool for data analysis and manipulation.

i_ram = df[df["ram"] < 16]

i_loc = i_ram.sort_values("location", ascending=False)

The given code first creates a subset of the original DataFrame df called i_ram by using boolean indexing to extract only the rows where the "ram" column has a value less than 16.

The next line of code then creates a new DataFrame called i_loc by sorting the rows of i_ram in descending order based on the values in the "location" column using the .sort_values() method. Here, the ascending=False parameter is passed to sort the rows in descending order of the "location" column.

Overall, this code filters the original DataFrame based on a specific condition and then sorts the resulting subset based on a specific column to create a new DataFrame with only the desired rows and order.
