What is str accessor?
str accessor (also called .str): The .str namespace on a pandas text column that applies string operations such as lower, strip, contains, replace and split to every value at once, skipping missing entries. It is the standard way to clean text columns without loops.
str accessor: an example
df['name'].str.strip().str.title() removes extra spaces and capitalises every name.
