Excel is organized into rows (represented by numbers) and columns (represented by letters) that contain your information. This format allows you to present large amounts of information and data in a concise and easy to follow format. Microsoft Excel is the most widely used software within the business community. Whether it is bankers or accountants or business analysts or marketing professionals or scientists or entrepreneurs, almost all professionals use Excel on a consistent basis.

Introduction to Python

 

What you'll learn

Uses of Python

Python variables and input

Python Decisions and Looping

About this Guided Project

Learning Python gives the programmer a wide variety of career paths to choose from. Python is an open-source (free) programming language that is used in web programming, data science, artificial intelligence, and many scientific applications. Learning Python allows the programmer to focus on solving problems, rather than focusing on syntax. Its relative size and simplified syntax give it an edge over languages like Java and C++, yet the abundance of libraries gives it the power needed to accomplish great things.

In this tutorial you will create a guessing game application that pits the computer against the user. You will create variables, decision constructs, and loops in python to create the game.

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

• Task 1: How Python is Used

• Task 2: Python Input and variables

• Task3: Python Decisions

• Challenge Task: Python Input and Decisions

• Challenge Solution: Python Input and Decisions

• Task 4: Python Loops

• Task 5: Python Functions

• Challenge Task: Python While Loops and Functions

• Challenge Solution: Python While Loops and Functions

Familiarity with SQL syntax is a marketable skill for both Information Technology professionals and non-IT super users.

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

•Describe basic SQL syntax rules along with requirements for the names of tables, and the naming and data type requirements for table columns (fields).

•Use the SELECT command and FROM clause to control the columns that are displayed and the order in which they display in query output.

•Limit the rows retrieved by an SQL query by applying the WHERE clause with one or more conditions.

•Use the ORDER BY clause to modify the sort order of the rows returned from an SQL retrieval query.

•Code an SQL retrieval query that uses the JOIN command to retrieve data rows from tables that are related via a common column.

Control structures [if elif]

Control structures 

if elif

•    Whenever you want to execute certain commands only when the certain condition is satisfied. 

•    So, in that case you can go for if else statements, the condition can also be single or you can also give multiple condition, in that case you will have multiple else statements.

• In the image below you can see this, more clearly.

     

• So, first we will look into the if else family of constructs, if else and If-elif-else are a family of constructs, where a condition is first checked, if it is satisfied only then the operations will be performed. 

• If, the condition is not satisfied the code exits the construct or moves on to the other options. So, whenever we use just an if statement or with an else statement or with using multiple if's and multiple else clause. 

• The first check would be the condition, whenever the condition is satisfied only then the code will be executed or the statement will be executed, otherwise the code exits the construct itself and moves to the other options. So, that is how the if else family of the constructs works. 

• Let us see different task for each construct. So, first we will look into if construct, the command would be if expression colon and statements in the next line.

• If is a key word, if the condition is satisfied whatever condition you have given it under the expression, then the statements will get executed. Otherwise, the code exit the construct itself. 

• Next, we will move ahead and see what is the syntax would be for If-else construct

• It forms a basis from the if construct, wherever we have given the first statement, using the if keyword and followed by if keyword you have to give the expression to be checked, that is where the condition to be specified.

Operations On Dataframe in Python [Part II]

Concise summary of Dataframe.

• So, next we are going to see about how to get the concise summary of DataFrame.

• So, there is a command called info that returns a concise summary of a DataFrame, the concise summary includes the data type of index; index being the row labels, the data type of row labels is what the output gives as well as it gives the data type of columns, it also gives the count of non-null values.

• Basically, how many filled values are there in your DataFrame. 

• Also, it gives the memory usage of the DataFrame and the syntax would be you use the info command along with the DataFrame name.

Syntax = DataFrame.info()
