visualization

This course assumes no prior experience and can teach anyone how to use Python to analyze and visualize data. Stop using Excel and start harnessing the power of Python.

Data analysis is one of the hottest careers of the 21st century. As an analyst, your goal is to peel back layers of data in order to answer questions of interest; that is the power of analytics. It allows you to take raw data and create meaningful, actionable insights.

In this course, you’ll learn how to use Python, NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, and Seaborn to perform data analysis and visualization. You’ll explore the four crucial steps for any data analysis project: reading, describing, cleaning, and visualizing data. In each step, you will work with the most common and popular tools that data analysts use every day. By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently extract knowledge and answers from data.

## Control structures in Python

### The if-else construct

**If-then statements** are a staple of any programming language. Basically, if you meet a certain condition, then something happens. In Python, `elif` stands for `else if`, meaning that if the previous conditions were not met, check that condition. `Else` is a catch-all condition for any remaining flows. Python follows the following syntax:
```python
if condition:
  statements
elif condition:
  statements
else:
  statements
```
Following is a code example:
