6. PANDAS – DATAFREAM – INTRODUCTION

1. DataFrame

 A Data frame is a two-dimensional data structure.

 Data frame is just like a table.
 Data frame contains rows and columns.

1.1. DataFrame is a pre-defined class

 DataFrame is a pre-defined class in pandas library.

Example

Emp_No Name Salary

101 Ranjan 10000

102 Akshay 20000

103 Daniel 30000

104 Veeru 40000

2|Page 6.PANDAS – DATAFRAME - INTRO

 Data Science - Pandas - DataFrame Introduction

Columns and Rows are

 Columns are

o First column name is : Emp_No

o Second column name is : Name
o Third column name is : Salary

 Rows are

o First row data is : 101 Abhi 10000

o Second row data is : 102 Akshay 20000
o Third row data is : 103 Daniel 10000
o Forth row data is : 104 Veeru 10000

2. Create DataFrame

 DataFrame is a predefined class in pandas.

 We can create DataFrame in different ways like below,
o Empty DataFrame
o By using single list
o By using nested list
o By using dictionary
o with another DataFrame
o Loading files(real time approach)

Generally

 In real time when we load existing file then it returns DataFrame

2.1. Create an Empty DataFrame

 We can create an empty DataFrame

Program Creating empty DataFrame

Name demo1.py

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame()
print(df)
print(type(df))

Output

Empty DataFrame
Columns: []
Index: []

<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>

2.2. Create a DataFrame by using list

 We can create DataFrame by using single list.

o If we are using single list then it’s a single column DataFrame
o If we are using list of lists(nested lists) then it’s multiple columns
DataFrame

Program Creating DataFrame by using single list

Name demo2.py

import pandas as pd

a = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]

df = pd.DataFrame(a)

print(df)
print(type(df))

Output

Note

 From the output, DataFrame created with single column.

 Here column name is Zero, we can customise this as well.

 Data Science - Pandas - DataFrame Introduction

Note on index

 If no index is passed, then by default, index will be range(n), where n is

the array length

Program Creating DataFrame by using single list

Name demo3.py

import pandas as pd

names = ["Ranjan", "Sagar", "Daniel", "Prasad", "Kumari",

"Pravallika", "Arjun", "Akshay"]
df = pd.DataFrame(names)

print(df)

Output

Program Creating single column DataFrame and checking length

Name demo4.py

import pandas as pd

names = ["Ranjan", "Sagar", "Daniel", "Prasad", "Kumari",

"Pravallika", "Arjun", "Akshay"]
df = pd.DataFrame(names)

print(df)
print()
print("The length is:", len(df))

Output

2.3. Creating a DataFrame by using list of lists

 We can create DataFrame with list of lists (nested list).

 If we are using list of lists then it create a DataFrame with multiple
columns.

9|Page 6.PANDAS – DATAFRAME - INTRO

 Data Science - Pandas - DataFrame Introduction

Program Creating DataFrame by using list of lists

Name demo5.py

import pandas as pd

details = [
["Ranjan", 11],
["Sagar", 12],
["Daniel", 13],
["Prasad", 14],
["Kumari", 15],
["Pravallika", 16],
["Arjun", 17],
["Akshay", 18]
]

df = pd.DataFrame(details)

print(df)

Output

Note

 From the output, DataFrame created with two columns.

 Here column names are 0 and 1 and we can customise this as well.

2.3.1. Giving column names to DataFrame

 We can give column names to DataFrame.

Program Creating DataFrame and giving names to columns

Name demo6.py

import pandas as pd

details = [
["Sagar", 20, 10000],
["Daniel", 16, 20000],
["Veeru", 24, 30000],
["Raju", 25, 40000],
["Kiran", 26, 50000],
["Kedar", 27, 60000],
["Reena", 28, 70000],
["Karthik", 29, 80000],
["Satish", 30, 90000]
]

cols = ["Name", "Age", "Salary"]

df = pd.DataFrame(details, columns = cols)

print(df)

Output

2.4. Creating a DataFrame by using dictionary

 We can create DataFrame by using dictionary

 If we are using list of lists then it create a DataFrame with multiple
columns.

Program Creating DataFrame by using dictionary

Name demo8.py

import pandas as pd

details = {
"Name": ["Daniel", "Abhi", "Veeru", "Raju", "Kiran",
"Kedar", "Reena", "Karthik", "Satish"],

"Age": [20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29]
}

df = pd.DataFrame(details)

print(df)

Output

Note

 In above example Name and age considered as column names

2.4.1. We can customize the index values

 By default index value start from 0
 We can customise the index values in DataFrame.
 If index is passed, then the length of the index should equal to the length
of the DataFrame.

]

c = ["Name", "Age", "Salary"]

i = [11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, 99]

df = pd.DataFrame(details, columns = c, index = i)

2.5. Creating DataFrame by loading the files.

 We can create DataFrame by loading files like csv, json etc.

 This we will learn more on 8th chapter.
