A Beginner’s Guide to Python for Data Science - Part 2 Creating our first python project

Image
  In the  last article , we introduced the software installation process required for data science in python. In this blog, we will begin creating our first project in Pycharm. We can open Pycharm and click on the plus sign to create a new project, as shown below: Now, as soon as you click on create the project button, you will go to another screen where you have to mention the desired project name, as shown below: The default project name is ‘untitled’, as shown in the image above. Next, we see a small triangle shape symbol under the “Location” part of the screen. When we click the triangle, Pycharm provides us with many options, as shown below: In the options above, we see one titled “New Environment Using”. If we click the drop-down menu, we see one of them is “Conda”, which is short for “Anaconda”. We need to select this option before clicking on the Create button to be sure that we are creating the new environment using anaconda distribution. One important thing you should remembe

A Beginner’s Guide to Python for Data Science - Part 4 Statements and Indentation in Python

Image
  In the  last article , we introduced the jupyter notebook and its functionality. Now that we have learnt the basics of the jupyter notebook, it’s time we get to the meat of the matter, i.e. time to start learning Python. Statements: The first thing we will discuss is “Statements and Indentation”. A Statement is any instruction or set of commands given to Python, or we can say that a statement is any code executable inside Python. So a simple addition that we performed while checking the installation is an example of a statement. There are two types of statements that you would generally see in Python, they are: Single-line statement. Multi-line statement. Let’s see an example of a multi-line statement. We will add the first six numbers for the task. We will run the following command: my_variable = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6) As soon as we print the variable we see that we get the sum of desired numbers. In the above code, I entered the entire addition in one line, which could also have b
