# a 2.0 0.0 1.0 6.0 0.0 1.0
# b 3.0 0.0 0.0 9.0 0.0 0.0

# e 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 2.0
# f 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
Here is what the above code is Doing:
1. Create a new column called ‘bin’ that is the result of pd.cut(df.age, [0,4,9,14])
2. Create a pivot table with index=’type’, columns=[‘bin’], values=’days’,
aggfunc=(‘count’, ‘sum’)
3. Fill any NaN values with 0
