To get a sense of how mad the missing value problem is, you may want to find out about the following information:

• How many cells in a column have a missing value
• Which cells in a column have a missing value
• How many columns have missing values

These tasks can be performed as follows:

• Finding cells that have missing values:

pd.isnull(data['body']) #returns TRUE if a cell has missing values
pd.notnull(data['body']) #returns TRUE if a cell doesn't have missing values

• Finding the number of missing values in a column:

pd.isnull(data['body']).values.ravel().sum() #returns the total number of missing values
pd.nottnull(data['body']).values.ravel().sum()#returns the total number of non-missing values

The third one has been left as an exercise for you.
