How deeply does Get Programming: Learn to code with Python cover data analysis?

Explains a file-reading workflow and several simple analyses, but does not develop advanced statistical methods.

Data analysis

As explained in Get Programming: Learn to code with Python

The systematic examination of stored data to derive summaries, comparisons, or other information from it.

Data analysis is the systematic examination of stored data to produce useful summaries, comparisons, or other information. A program can read large amounts of data from a file, store the values, and examine them efficiently. section 23.0

A beginner-friendly analysis workflow is:

Read a structured file line by line. section 23.0
Save the file’s numbers and strings in variables. section 23.0
Analyze the stored information by finding averages, maximums, minimums, or duplicates. section 23.0

Friends’ phone numbers

A program can read a file containing friends’ names and phone numbers, store the information, and use phone-number area codes to show where friends live and count the states represented. section 23.0
