DOC: Official "Cheat Sheet" shows `as_type()` method, correct signature is `astype()`

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on main here

Location of the documentation

Documentation problem

The third page of the official "Cheat Sheet" at https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/blob/main/doc/cheatsheet/Pandas_Cheat_Sheet.pdf has a section called "Changing Type". It lists df.as_type(type), however no such method exists; the correct method should be df.astype(type).

Suggested fix for documentation

The fix is straightforward: replace as_type with astype.

I’m very happy to take this and submit a PR that updates the PPTX/PDF. 👍

Thanks for the report. Agreed we should have astype. PR to fix is welcome - when doing so, please update all files in the cheatsheet directory.

PR #61528 submitted!

Note that the cheatsheets offered in Farsi and Japanese are slightly shorter and don't mention astype(), hence the fix only touches the English version.
