print(df)
🔍 Basic DataFrame Operations
df.head()
- View the first few rowsdf.info()
- Get dataset detailsdf.describe()
- Summary statisticsdf['Age'].mean()
- Calculate the average age
📊 Data Visualization with Pandas
Pandas works well with Matplotlib for quick visualizations:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
df['Age'].plot(kind='bar')
plt.show()
