How to Check Column Nulls and Replace: Pandas

Image
Here is a post that shows how to count Nulls and replace them with the value you want in the Pandas Dataframe. We have explained the process in two steps - Counting and Replacing the Null values. Count null values (column-wise) in Pandas ## count null values column-wise null_counts = df.isnull(). sum() print(null_counts) ``` Output: ``` Column1    1 Column2    1 Column3    5 dtype: int64 ``` In the above code, we first create a sample Pandas DataFrame `df` with some null values. Then, we use the `isnull()` function to create a DataFrame of the same shape as `df`, where each element is a boolean value indicating whether that element is null or not. Finally, we use the `sum()` function to count the number of null values in each column of the resulting DataFrame. The output shows the count of null values column-wise. to count null values column-wise: ``` df.isnull().sum() ``` ##Code snippet to count null values row-wise: ``` df.isnull().sum(axis=1) ``` In the above code, `df` is the Panda

How to Use Blockchain in Internet of Things and Real Applications

You do not need a central authority in the blockchain. The distributed nature of records makes the records visible to all the parties. Encrypted blocks link to each other. You cannot manipulate the stored records in the blockchain.   Why the peer-to-peer network and the absence of a central authority Peer to peer network makes secure and transparent transactions. The data in the blocks are encrypted. The distributed nature is the main reason for not having central authority in the blockchain. Blockchain in IoT There are already blockchain applications in the context of the Internet of Things and some vendors have specific solutions to enable the use of blockchain for IoT too, among others increase trust, save costs and speed up transactions.  IBM is a frontrunner , although several vendors and industry initiatives have been launched with new solutions and actual deployments.
