Pandas Brain Teasers

# Try it yourself
Try executing the code below to see the result.

import pandas as pd

simpsons = pd.Series(
['Homer', 'Marge', 'Bart', 'Lisa', 'Maggie'])
print('Bart' in simpsons)

# Explanation
The sequence type is `pandas.Series`. Most Python sequences are indexed by a range, meaning the first item is at index 0, the second item is at index 1, and so on.

>**Note about 0 vs. 1**: Python is a 0-based language. Some languages, such as MATLAB,
are 1-based. In this puzzle, the compromise of using $½$ as the first index didn’t go
well. 

Let's learn how to access the values of a pandas series.
