Turn numbers into categories with the Pandas "cut" method

How can you turn numeric data into categorical data? Pandas provides us with a simple solution, namely the "cut" method. In this video, I demonstrate how "cut" works, and compare it with the manual creation of categories.

This tutorial will be of immense help. I have a derived dataframe that I have been trying to categorize using python, can I apply the cut method to the entire dataframe?
Thank you, Sir

[@ReuvenLerner]

The Pandas docs say that the argument to pd.cut must be 1-dimensional. So you would have to run pd.cut once for each column you want to translate. Glad the tutorial was helpful!

pd.cut() and it's not supposed to be complicated

[@ReuvenLerner]

It's not supposed to be complicated, but many people don't know it exists, and then get flummoxed trying to use it.
