 Whether you're a beginner or brushing up on your skills, these are the real-world questions Python learners ask most about key libraries in data science. Let’s dive in! 🐍 🐼 Pandas: Data Manipulation Made Easy 1. How do I handle missing data in a DataFrame? df.fillna( 0 ) # Replace NaNs with 0 df.dropna() # Remove rows with NaNs df.isna(). sum () # Count missing values per column 2. How can I merge or join two DataFrames? pd.merge(df1, df2, on= 'id' , how= 'inner' ) # inner, left, right, outer 3. What is the difference between loc[] and iloc[] ? loc[] uses labels (e.g., column names) iloc[] uses integer positions df.loc[ 0 , 'name' ] # label-based df.iloc[ 0 , 1 ] # index-based 4. How do I group data and perform aggregation? df.groupby( 'category' )[ 'sales' ]. sum () 5. How can I convert a column to datetime format? df[ 'date' ] = pd.to_datetime(df[ 'date' ]) ...

How to Find Factorial in Python for Any Number

I have explained how to find factorial for a given number in Python using my own script fact.fy.
A module is created as a script file, which contains function definitions that can be called in two ways:

  • From the interpreter
  • From another script file or from another function

python factorial logic

How to import a Script from Linux to Python Console

I have written a script fact.fy

# This program illustrates the designing/creation of a module

def factorial(n):
        "This module computes factorial"
        f=1;
        for i in range (1, n+1):
                  f=f*i;
        print(f)
        return 

In interpreter...
>>> import fact       ==> Import from Linux
>>>fact.factorial(5)
120

What is script reloading?

The Python interpreter imports a module only once in a session. 

If some modifications are performed in the script, then it must be reloaded (imported) again in the interpreter for future use.

A script is a reusable component and you can add n number of functions inside of it.

Directory function in Python.

In order to see the list of function names defined in a module, Python is provided with a built-in function called dir().

It displays the list of all the function definition names as follows:

>>>dir()

['__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', 
'__loader__','__name__', '__package__','__spec__',
'fib']

Another way if we give 'module' name in dir(), you will get a list of all functions inside of it.
