Ensure numerical values aren't stored as strings and vice versa.

Automating repetitive cleaning tasks is one of the highest-value features you can provide.

Flag or filter data points that fall outside expected statistical ranges.

Include methods like .head() , .tail() , and .shape to quickly assess the "shape" and quality of the data. 2. Automated Cleaning & Transformation

Read from CSV, Excel, JSON, SQL databases, and web APIs.

Implement functions like merge() and join() to combine datasets based on common keys (e.g., joining sales data with customer demographics).

Verify that data follows business rules (e.g., ages shouldn't be negative). 5. Interactive Environment

Use NumPy to perform transformations on entire columns at once, which is significantly faster than standard Python loops. 3. Data Structuring & Enrichment
