🚀 Quick Python Example
Here's a taste of what you'll learn:
# Data analysis with Python
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Load and analyze data
data = pd.read_csv('students.csv')
average_grades = data.groupby('department')['grade'].mean()
# Create visualization
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
average_grades.plot(kind='bar')
plt.title('Average Grades by Department')
plt.ylabel('Grade')
plt.show()
