Conventions

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "To transform the data into the right data types, we can use conversion functions, such as to_datetime, to_numeric, and astype."

A block of code is set as follows:

before the sort function:[23, 66, 12, 54, 98, 3]

after the sort function: [3, 12, 23, 54, 66, 98]

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Pandas (https://pandas.pydata.org) is a data manipulation and analysis library that's widely used in the data science community."
