Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van
released in 1991. The fastest-growing use of Python is for data science mahine
learning, and academic research. Some of the feaures of python are
1. Ease of Learning
2. Faster Development and Processing
3. Powerful Packages
4. Community Support
5. Better Data Visualisation
Data Analysis with Python Pandas:
Pandas is apowerful and flexible Python package that allows you to work with labeled
and time series data. Pandas help to save a lot of time by importing large amounts of
data very fast. It also provides statistics methods, enables plotting and more. One
crucial feature of Pandas is its ability to write and read Excel, CSV. and many other types
of files. Functions like the Pandas read_csv() method enable you to work with files
effectively. You can use them to save the data and labels trom Pandas objects to a file
and load them later as Pandas Series or DataFrame instances.
Data visualization with matplotlib:
Data visualization brings easiness in understanding and increases effectiveness The
human mind learns fast from visuals than that of text and tables. Nowadays we have a
good number of tools for data visual1zation. which are tast and ettective. Data
visualization creates a better selling strategy. Data visualization boosts the ability to
