Ans : 2
c) Explain Pandas iterrow(). Give example. 1
iterrows() − iterate over the rows as (index,series) pairs. Example :

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(4,3),columns = ['col1','col2','col3'])

for row_index,row in df.iterrows():

print row_index,row

d) Which method is used to compare two dataframe?

1
Ans : equals()

e) How does pivot-table differ() from pivot()? 2

Ans : pivot() is used for pivoting without aggregation. Therefor, it can’t deal with duplicate
values for one index/column pair. pivot_table is a generalization of pivot that can handle
duplicate values for one pivoted index/column pair. Specifically, you can give
pivot_table a list of aggregation functions using keyword argument aggfunc. The default
aggfunc of pivot_table is numpy.mean. ( 2 mark for correct answer.)

Advantage : Simple and easy to understand
Disadvantage : No working software till the last phase

disadvantage)

Page 10 of 17
 Agile software development

Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on

iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between
self-organizing cross-functional teams.
Agile is a process that helps teams provide quick and unpredictable responses to the feedback they
receive on their project. It creates opportunities to assess a project's direction during
the development cycle. Teams assess the project in regular meetings called sprints or iterations.
The main difference between traditional and agile approaches is the sequence of project phases –
requirements gathering, planning, design, development, testing and UAT. In traditional development
methodologies, the sequence of the phases in which the project is developed is linear where as in
Agile, it is iterative. (2 mark for correct explanation of Agile software development
and 2 mark for difference )
OR

Scrum is an agile framework for managing knowledge work, with an emphasis on software
development, although it has wide application in other fields and is slowly starting to be explored by
traditional project teams more generally. It is designed for teams of three to nine members, who break
their work into actions that can be completed within time boxed iterations, called sprints, no longer
than one month and most commonly two weeks, then track progress and re-plan in 15-minute time
boxed stand-up meetings, called daily scrums.
Pair programming is an agile software development technique in which two programmers work
together at one workstation. One, the driver, writes code while the other, the observer or navigator
reviews each line of code as it is typed in. The two programmers switch roles frequently.

programming )

Role of Social Media Campaigns:-

A social media campaign should focus around a singular business goal, whether it's on
Facebook or Instagram. Common goals for a social media campaigns include:
 Getting feedback from users.
 Building email marketing lists
 Increasing website traffic

Crowdsourcing is the practice of engaging a ‘crowd’ or group for a common goal — often
innovation, problem solving, or efficiency. It is powered by new technologies, social media
and web 2.0. Crowdsourcing can take place on many different levels and across various
industries.

Smart mobs, so named because each person in the group uses technology to receive
information on where to go and what to do. This ability to stay on top of current events
makes smart mobs extremely effective
