Learn Python concepts specific to your field of interest

Python is used in so many different fields. It is widely used in the fields of data science, machine
learning, web development, and automation. And python can also be used for game development,
mobile app development and a few other streams. For each of these fields, knowing just the
fundamentals of python programming wont be sufficient. You will have to master a few frameworks or
libraries to efficiently work in these fields.

Diifference between Numpy and Pandas in Python

To understand the difference between two you need to understand what is numpy and what is pandas?
And what is the purpose of them. Let’s understand one by one:

What is numpy?

Numpy means numerical python

It's the short form of numerical python

Why do we use it?

If you want to do any array based or matrix based computation, calculation and data analysis then it is
better to use numpy

How it could be helpful?

you can do complex calculations very easily with the help of numpy, for example:

- If you want to multiply or add two or more arrays, you need not to run any loop, using numpy you can
just multiply or add them like any other scalar entity:

c=a+b

Similarly you can perform any element wise operations easily without using any loop with the help of
numpy.

What is Pandas?

Pandas stands for “Python Data Analysis". It is most popular tool(python package) to do the data
cleaning and analysis fast and easy.

Similarities in numpy and pandas

pandas adopted many coding styles from NumPy. Pandas also use the same style of working as the
numpy uses it gives preference for data processing without loops

Difference between numpy and pandas:

#1

- Numpy works with arrays

- While pandas works with data frames and series


#2

- NumPy is best suited for working with homogeneous i.e same kind of data

- While Pandas is best suited for working with tabular or heterogeneous i.e different kind of data

#3

You need to import numpy package to use numpy, like:

import numpy as np

You need to import pandas package to use pandas, like:

import pandas as pd
