Hello! In this lesson, we will explore the concept of grouping in pandas. Grouping rows of a DataFrame is a powerful tool that allows you to aggregate rows based on the values in one or more columns of your data. For example, say you have a DataFrame representing all orders in an online store, where each row is an order. You could group the DataFrame by Customer_ID to glean data about particular shoppers. Similarly, if you have a school database where each row corresponds to a student, grouping by Grade_Level can streamline data analysis for each grade. We'll exemplify this operation using a straightforward DataFrame.

Let's work with a DataFrame of individuals, each characterized by attributes such as Name, Age, and City. Here is a simple example:

The groupby function in pandas is the basis of group operations. Imagine a pond filled with various types of fish. When different colored foods are dropped into the pond, every fish is drawn to a specific color. After some time, your pond will neatly sort into groups of each type of fish.
