Mastering Python for Finance - Second Edition

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "By default, pandas' .plot() command uses the matplotlib library to display graphs."

A block of code is set as follows:

In [ ]:     %matplotlib inline     import quandl     quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = QUANDL_API_KEY     df = quandl.get('EURONEXT/ABN.4')     daily_changes = df.pct_change(periods=1)     daily_changes.plot();

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
