Hello all,
My main concern is the SettingWithCopyWarning I get starting from Cell 30. I have tried using dataframe.copy() and .loc as suggested by the warning message but they do not work. From the result it seems the code worked as intended, but I’m still wondering what caused the issue.
Any other feedback is welcome too of course!
Thanks!

In this article, I’m going to show you 3 ways of copying Dataframes in Pandas, explain how they are all different and tell you when you should use either.
