15. Range-based Filtering and Column Selection

Write a Pandas program to filter the specified columns and records by range from world alcohol consumption dataset.

Test Data:

   Year       WHO region                Country Beverage Types  Display Value
0  1986  Western Pacific               Viet Nam           Wine           0.00
1  1986         Americas                Uruguay          Other           0.50
2  1985           Africa           Cte d'Ivoire           Wine           1.62
3  1986         Americas               Colombia           Beer           4.27
4  1987         Americas  Saint Kitts and Nevis           Beer           1.98   

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
# World alcohol consumption data
w_a_con = pd.read_csv('world_alcohol.csv')
print("World alcohol consumption sample data:")
print(w_a_con.head())
print("\nFiltering records by label or index:")
print(w_a_con.loc[0:4, ["WHO region", "Beverage Types"]])

Sample Output:

World alcohol consumption sample data:
   Year       WHO region      ...      Beverage Types Display Value
0  1986  Western Pacific      ...                Wine          0.00
1  1986         Americas      ...               Other          0.50
2  1985           Africa      ...                Wine          1.62
3  1986         Americas      ...                Beer          4.27
4  1987         Americas      ...                Beer          1.98
