Example 1: how to apply filters in pandas

# filter rows for year 2002 using  the boolean expression
>gapminder_2002 = gapminder[gapminder.year.eq(2002)]
>print(gapminder_2002.shape)
(142, 6)

Example 2: pandas filter

>continents = ['Asia','Africa', 'Americas', 'Europe']
>gapminder_Ocean = gapminder[~gapminder.continent.isin(continents)]
>gapminder_Ocean.shape 
(24,6)
