  3. Winning a Kaggle Competition in Python

Exercise

Explore train data

You will work with another Kaggle competition called "Store Item Demand Forecasting Challenge". In this competition, you are given 5 years of store-item sales data, and asked to predict 3 months of sales for 50 different items in 10 different stores.

To begin, let's explore the train data for this competition. For the faster performance, you will work with a subset of the train data containing only a single month history.

Your initial goal is to read the input data and take the first look at it.
