351+ NaT is used to denote missing or null values in datetime and timedelta objects
352+ in pandas. It functions similarly to how NaN is used for numerical data.
353+ Operations with NaT will generally propagate the NaT value, similar to NaN.
354+ NaT can be used in pandas data structures like Series and DataFrame
355+ to represent missing datetime values. It is useful in data analysis
356+ and time series analysis when working with incomplete or sparse
357+ time-based data. Pandas provides robust handling of NaT to ensure
358+ consistency and reliability in computations involving datetime objects.
