Another side to this is how do you speak the intention behind your code?
For example, in Python
data[( (data.sex == 'male')
& (data.age > 50)
)]/
.income.value_counts()/
.plot(kind = 'bar')
Would be read as:
show me everything in my dataframe called 'data' everything where the value
in the gender column equals 'male' and the age is greater than 50. Now give
me the 'income' column value counts, and plot that as a bar chart.
Sorry for any mistyping.
