Python is a programming language. It is one of the most popular languages used today for anything from software development to data analysis.

Python For Beginners

This video covers Python syntax, data types, and functions. Syntax refers to the rules you have to follow to write code in a specific language. Data types in Python are Strings like “Hello World!”, floats like 3.14, and integers like 1. Functions are blocks of code that run when they are called; you can think of the equation for a linear line as a function (y=mx+b) that you can call with various values of x and b.

Python DataFrames

A DataFrame is a 2-dimensional data structure in Python with rows and columns. In other words, it is basically a table in Python with labeled columns, potentially of different data types. You can store data from CSV files in DataFrames and then graph them!
