We have reached the end of our journey in learning about pandas and the features it offers for data manipulation and analysis. Prior to this chapter, we spent most of our time learning the features of pandas, and in many cases, using data designed to demonstrate the concepts instead of using real-world data.
In this chapter, we used everything that we've learned up to this point to demonstrate how easy it is to use pandas to analyze real-world data, specifically stock data, and to derive results from the data.
