What is Pandas?


Pandas is an open source data analysis and manipulation tool built on top of the Python programming language. It is most widely used forĀ data science or data analysis and machine learning tasks.

The Python package is built on top of the package Numpy. While NumPy offers the Array object, Pandas provides tools like DataFrame and Series that are used for analyzing the data.
