In this section I'm going to show how to manipulate strings using pandas. So the key here is once you've got a column or a series that is a string,
0:10
you can see that the type of this is a string, on that there is an str attribute. So on the str attribute there are various things that you can do.

These methods that are attached to the str attribute should be very familiar to you if you're familiar with working with Python strings.

But the nice thing about working with pandas is that instead of working with an individual string
0:30
you will be working on a list of strings, everything in the column at once. Here if I want to capitalize everything I can say
0:38
capitalize that and that will capitalize the first letter in there.

Again this is off of that str attribute and I'm just going to show you everything that's in there.

These look very similar to what you would see in a Python string. Thank you. you
