Commands related to DataFrame programming

Consider the following dataframe ‘Test’


Test
Name Test1 Test2 Test3
0 Amit 92 75 79
1 Yash 81 85 84
2 Rohan 76 72 85
3 Deves 78 83 90
h
4Nihar 92 87 87
Create a DataFrame
import pandas as pd
d = {‘Name’: [ ‘Amit’, Yash’, ‘Rohan’, ‘Devesh’, ‘Nihar’], ‘Test1’ : [92,81, 76, 78, 92], ‘Test2’ :[75, 85,
72, 83, 87], ‘Test3’ : [79, 84, 85, 90, 87]}
Test = pd.DataFrame(d)

Command to select a single column


On Interactive On Script Mode
Mode
>>> Test[‘Test1’] print(Test[‘Test1’])
or or
>>> Test.Test1 print(Test.Test1)
Command to select a multiple columns
>>>Test[[‘Name’, ‘Test3’]]

Command to select a single row using loc


>>>Test.loc[1, : ]

Command to select a multiple contiguous rows using loc


>>> Test.loc[1 : 3, : ]

Command to select a specific value e.g. Test2 marks of Rohan


>>>Test.at[2, ‘Test2’]

Command to add a new column at the end of the DataFrame


import numpy as np (required to import to use NaN datatype
>>>Test[‘Total’] = np.NaN

Command to add a new column at the specific index e.g. at 3rd position i.e. index 2 of the DataFrame
using insert( )
>>>Test.insert(2, ‘Class/Sec’, np.NaN)

Command to add a new row at the end of the DataFrame


>>> Test.loc[ 5, : ] = np.NaN

Command to delete a single column


>>> del Test[‘Total’]

Command to delete a row using drop( )


>>> Test.drop(index = 2, inplace = True)
Note – drop function make the changes temporary. To make the changes permanent inplace attribute in used.
Command to delete a column using drop( )
>>> Test.drop(columns = ‘Total’, inplace = True)

Command to find any missing value in the DataFrame


>>>Test.isnull( )
Note – This function will return True or False for each value of DataFrame.

Command to delete all the rows with NaN value


>>>Test.dropna( )

Command to delete all the columns with NaN value


>>>Test.dropna(axis = 1)

Command to replace all the NaN values with any specified value
>>>Test.fillna( 0 )
The above command will fill 0 at all the places where there is NaN value in a DataFrame.

Attributes of DataFrame (we will use the above given dataframe Test )
Name of the Command Output
attribute
columns >>>Test.columns Index([‘Name’, ‘Test1’, ‘Test2’, ‘Test3’], dtype = ‘object’)
index >>>Test.index RangeIndex(start = 0, stop = 5, step = 1)
dtypes >>>Test.dtypes Name object
Test1 int64
Test2 int64
Test3 int64
dtype : object
(5, 4)
shape >>>Test.shape Note – first value shows number of rows and second value shows
no. of columns in a DataFrame
size >>>Test.size 20 ( Total number of elements)
values >>>Test.values [[‘Amit’ , 92, 75, 79]
[‘Yash’, 81, 85, 84]
[‘Rohan’, 76, 72, 85]
[‘Devesh’, 78, 83, 90]
[‘Nihar’, 92, 87, 87]]

head( ) – head function will display top 5 rows by default of the DataFrame. If we specify any value within
the function it will display that no. of rows from the top.
>>>Test.head( 3 )
Will show top 3 rows of the datFrame Test

tail( ) – tail function will display bottom 5 rows by default of the DataFrame. If we specify any value within
the function it will display that no. of rows from the bottom.
>>>Test.tail( 2 )
Will show bottom 2 rows of the datFrame Test
