Question

Is Python better than R for data science?

Answer 1

When it comes to Data Analysis or any other Machine Learning related projects for that matter, Python is the best option. Yes it is better than R. The wide range of libraries provided by Python (which also includes Pandas, Matplotlib) makes the work a lot easier. Pandas can be used for large scale projects as well. So, there's no need to worry about going for Python, as this programming language is the third most popular language in 2019, according to TIOBE Index for October 2019
