A popular pandas data type for representing datasets in memory.
A DataFrame is analogous to a table or a spreadsheet. Each column of a DataFrame has a name (a header), and each row is identified by a unique number.
Each column in a DataFrame is structured like a 2D array, except that each column can be assigned its own data type.
