what is the significance of coerce in python/pandas?
<p>Being a newbie to python/pandas, just curious to know the significance/use of "coerce" in pandas syntax.</p>

<p>Is it only used in case of conversion(i would rather say force-full conversion) or it has some use cases in any other places.</p>

<p>Thanks in Adv.(An example will be highly valuable).</p>
