A. 1-D data
Similar to NumPy, pandas frequently deals with 1-D and 2-D data. However, we use two separate objects to deal with 1-D and 2-D data in pandas. For 1-D data, we use the pandas.Series objects, which we'll refer to simply as a Series.
A Series is created through the pd.Series constructor, which takes in no required arguments but does have a variety of keyword arguments.
