User Guide
==========
The User Guide covers all of pandas by topic area. Each of the subsections
introduces a topic (such as "working with missing data"), and discusses how
pandas approaches the problem, with many examples throughout.
Users brand-new to pandas should start with :ref:`10min`.
For a high level summary of the pandas fundamentals, see :ref:`dsintro` and :ref:`basics`.
Further information on any specific method can be obtained in the
:ref:`api`.
How to read these guides
------------------------
In these guides you will see input code inside code blocks such as:
::
import pandas as pd
pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3]})
or:
.. ipython:: python
import pandas as pd
pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3]})
The first block is a standard python input, while in the second the ``In [1]:`` indicates the input is inside a `notebook <https://jupyter.org>`__. In Jupyter Notebooks the last line is printed and plots are shown inline.
For example:
.. ipython:: python
a = 1
a
is equivalent to:
::
a = 1
print(a)
