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.
0:18
These methods that are attached to the str attribute should be very familiar to you if you're familiar with working with Python strings.
0:25
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.
0:43
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
