All the functions and methods we have used so far have involved the full row or column; however, sometimes, we are more interested in the values over a certain window or range of rows/columns. When we have a DatetimeIndex, we can specify the windows in day parts (such as 2H for two hours or 3D for three days), otherwise we can specify the number of periods as an integer. Say we are interested in the amount of rain that has fallen in a rolling three-day window; it would be quite tedious (and probably inefficient) to implement this with what we have learned so far. Fortunately, we can use the rolling() method on dataframes to get this information easily:
>>> central_park_weather['2018-10'].assign(... rolling_PRCP=lambda ...
