List comprehensions for time-stamped data
You will now make use of what you've learned from this chapter to solve a simple data extraction problem. You will also be introduced to a data structure, the pandas Series, in this exercise. We won't elaborate on it much here, but what you should know is that it is a data structure that you will be working with a lot of times when analyzing data from pandas DataFrames. You can think of DataFrame columns as single-dimension arrays called Series.
In this exercise, you will be using a list comprehension to extract the time from time-stamped Twitter data. The pandas package has been imported as pd and the file 'tweets.csv' has been imported as the df DataFrame for your use.

- Extract the column
'created_at'fromdfand assign the result totweet_time. Fun fact: the extracted column intweet_timehere is a Series data structure! - Create a list comprehension that extracts the time from each row in
tweet_time. Each row is a string that represents a timestamp, and you will access the 12th to 19th characters in the string to extract the time. Useentryas the iterator variable and assign the result totweet_clock_time. Remember that Python uses 0-based indexing!
