1. What is a Series and how is it different from a 1-D array, a list and a dictionary?

A Series is a one-dimensional labeled array in pandas capable of holding data of any type.
Difference:
• 1-D Array (NumPy): Homogeneous data, no labels.
• List (Python): Can hold mixed data, no labels.
• Dictionary: Key-value pairs, but unordered (until Python 3.7+).
• Series combines the best of both: it has labels (like a dictionary) and behaves like an array for
computations.

2. What is a DataFrame and how is it different from a 2-D array?


A DataFrame is a 2D labeled data structure with columns of potentially different types.
Difference:
• 2-D array: All elements must be of the same type.
• DataFrame: Can contain columns of different data types, and both rows and columns are labeled.

3. How are DataFrames related to Series?


A DataFrame is essentially a collection of Series objects that share a common index. Each column in a
DataFrame is a Series.

4. What do you understand by the size of:


• Series: Number of elements.
• DataFrame: Total number of elements = rows × columns.

5. Create Series:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import string
# a)EngAlph = pd.Series(list(string.ascii_lowercase))
# b)Vowels = pd.Series(0, index=['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'])
print(Vowels.empty) # False
# c)Friends = pd.Series({
'Amit': 101,
'Sana': 102,
'Ravi': 103,
'Tina': 104,
'Neha': 105})
# d)MTseries = pd.Series(dtype='float64')
print(MTseries.empty) # True
# e)MonthDays = pd.Series(np.array([31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31]), index=range(1,13))

6. Operations on Series:
# a)Vowels[:] = 10
print(Vowels)
# b)Vowels = Vowels / 2
print(Vowels)
# c)Vowels1 = pd.Series([2,5,6,3,8], index=['a','e','i','o','u'])
# d)Vowels3 = Vowels + Vowels1
# e)print(Vowels - Vowels1)
print(Vowels * Vowels1)
print(Vowels / Vowels1)
# f)Vowels1.index = ['A','E','I','O','U']

7. Series Info and Accessing Elements:


for s in [EngAlph, Vowels, Friends, MTseries, MonthDays]:
print(s.ndim, s.size, s.values)
# b)MTseries.name = 'SeriesEmpty'
# c)MonthDays.index.name = 'monthno'
Friends.index.name = 'Fname'
# d)print(Friends.iloc[[2,1]])
# e)print(EngAlph[4:16]) # 'e' to 'p'
# f)print(EngAlph[:10])
# g)print(EngAlph[-10:])
# h)print(MTseries)
8. More Series Operations:
# a)print(MonthDays.loc[3:7])
# b)print(MonthDays[::-1])

9. Create DataFrame Sales:


data = {
2014: [100.5, 150.8, 200.9, 30000, 40000],
2015: [12000, 18000, 22000, 30000, 45000],
2016: [20000, 50000, 70000, 100000, 125000],
2017: [50000, 60000, 70000, 80000, 90000]}
Sales = pd.DataFrame(data, index=['Madhu', 'Kusum', 'Kinshuk', 'Ankit', 'Shruti'])

10. DataFrame Operations:


# a)print(Sales.index)
# b)print(Sales.columns)
# c)print(Sales.dtypes)
# d)print(Sales.ndim, Sales.shape, Sales.size, Sales.values)
# e)print(Sales.tail(2))
# f)print(Sales.iloc[:, :2])
# g)sales_dict = {
'Madhu': 160000,
'Kusum': 110000,
'Kinshuk': 500000,
'Ankit': 340000,
'Shruti': 900000}
Sales2 = pd.DataFrame({'2018': sales_dict})
print(Sales2.empty)

11. Advanced DataFrame Operations:


# a)Sales = pd.concat([Sales, Sales2], axis=1)
# b)Sales = Sales.T
# c)print(Sales.loc[2017])
# d)print(Sales.loc[[2017,2018], ['Madhu','Ankit']])
# e)print(Sales.loc[2016, 'Shruti'])
# f)Sales['Sumeet'] = [196.2, 37800, 52000, 78438, 38852]
# g)Sales = Sales.drop(2014)
# h)Sales = Sales.drop('Kinshuk', axis=1)
# i)Sales = Sales.rename(columns={'Ankit':'Vivaan', 'Madhu':'Shailesh'})
# j)Sales.loc[2018, 'Shailesh'] = 100000
# k)Sales.to_csv('SalesFigures.csv', header=False, index=False)
# l)SalesRetrieved = pd.read_csv('SalesFigures.csv', header=None)
SalesRetrieved.index = Sales.index
SalesRetrieved.columns = Sales.columns
