Not a programmer, y funny?
When doing "import x as y", x is the library (set of tools you can use in your program) you import and y is what you would call it throughout your code. This is helpful to shorten things, for example "import numpy as np". Now you can just write "np" instead of "numpy".
In the image you would start every numpy statement with "pandas" and every pandas statement with "numpy". It just makes it confusing.
numpyandpandasare two different modules that have similar uses, but are most definitely not interchangeable. Line 500 is importingnumpy, but calling itpandas. Meaning later on in the code, any time the script makes use ofnumpy, it actually has to refer to it aspandas, and vice versa, causing all sorts of confusion and shenanigans.I feel like there should be an award for the most interesting error code, regardless of how highly subjective that is.
Think of replacing the word "and" with the word "or", and vise versa. Typically it will still make sense, bot not always
