What is Pandas - Hands-On Activity

What is Pandas

📖 Scenario: You are starting to learn data science. You want to understand what Pandas is and how to create a simple data table using it.

🎯 Goal: Learn what Pandas is and create a simple table (DataFrame) with it.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a Pandas DataFrame from a dictionary

Understand that Pandas helps organize data in tables

Print the DataFrame to see the data

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Pandas is used to organize data from surveys, sales, or any list of information to make it easy to analyze.

💼 Career

Data scientists and analysts use Pandas daily to clean, explore, and prepare data for reports and machine learning.

1

Create a dictionary with sample data

Create a dictionary called data with these exact entries: 'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'] and 'Age': [25, 30, 35].

Pandas

# Create the dictionary called data
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces {} to create a dictionary. The keys are 'Name' and 'Age'. The values are lists of names and ages.

2

Import Pandas library

Write the exact line import pandas as pd to import the Pandas library with the alias pd.

Pandas

data = {'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'], 'Age': [25, 30, 35]}
# Import pandas as pd
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the import keyword followed by pandas as pd.

3

Create a DataFrame from the dictionary

Create a Pandas DataFrame called df from the dictionary data using pd.DataFrame(data).

Pandas

data = {'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'], 'Age': [25, 30, 35]}
import pandas as pd
# Create DataFrame df from data
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use pd.DataFrame() and pass the data dictionary inside the parentheses.

4

Print the DataFrame

Write print(df) to display the DataFrame df.

Pandas

data = {'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'], 'Age': [25, 30, 35]}
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
# Print the DataFrame df
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the print() function with df inside to show the table.
