Python Scikit learn: Drop Id column from a given Dataframe and print the modified part

Python Machine learning Iris Basic: Exercise-7 with Solution

Write a Python program to drop Id column from a given Dataframe and print the modified part. Call iris.csv to create the Dataframe.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv("iris.csv")
print("Original Data:")
print(data.head())
new_data = data.drop('Id',axis=1)
print("After removing id column:")
print(new_data.head()) 

Sample Output:

Original Data:
   Id  SepalLengthCm  SepalWidthCm  PetalLengthCm  PetalWidthCm      Species
0   1            5.1           3.5            1.4           0.2  Iris-setosa
1   2            4.9           3.0            1.4           0.2  Iris-setosa
2   3            4.7           3.2            1.3           0.2  Iris-setosa
3   4            4.6           3.1            1.5           0.2  Iris-setosa
4   5            5.0           3.6            1.4           0.2  Iris-setosa
After removing id column:
   SepalLengthCm  SepalWidthCm  PetalLengthCm  PetalWidthCm      Species
0            5.1           3.5            1.4           0.2  Iris-setosa
1            4.9           3.0            1.4           0.2  Iris-setosa
2            4.7           3.2            1.3           0.2  Iris-setosa
3            4.6           3.1            1.5           0.2  Iris-setosa
4            5.0           3.6            1.4           0.2  Iris-setosa
