Pandas: Default index and Set an Index
Pandas Indexing: Exercise-1 with Solution
Write a Pandas program to display the default index and set a column as an Index in a given dataframe.
Test Data:
0 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 street1 t1 1 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 32 street2 t2 2 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 street3 t3 3 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 street1 t4 4 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 street2 t5 5 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 street4 t6
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({
'school_code': ['s001','s002','s003','s001','s002','s004'],
'class': ['V', 'V', 'VI', 'VI', 'V', 'VI'],
'name': ['Alberto Franco','Gino Mcneill','Ryan Parkes', 'Eesha Hinton', 'Gino Mcneill', 'David Parkes'],
'date_Of_Birth': ['15/05/2002','17/05/2002','16/02/1999','25/09/1998','11/05/2002','15/09/1997'],
'weight': [35, 32, 33, 30, 31, 32],
'address': ['street1', 'street2', 'street3', 'street1', 'street2', 'street4'],
't_id':['t1', 't2', 't3', 't4', 't5', 't6']})
print("Default Index:")
print(df.head(10))
print("\nschool_code as new Index:")
df1 = df.set_index('school_code')
print(df1)
print("\nt_id as new Index:")
df2 = df.set_index('t_id')
print(df2)
Sample Output:
Default Index: school_code class name date_Of_Birth weight address t_id 0 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 street1 t1 1 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 32 street2 t2 2 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 street3 t3 3 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 street1 t4 4 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 street2 t5 5 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 street4 t6 school_code as new Index: class name date_Of_Birth weight address t_id school_code s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 street1 t1 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 32 street2 t2 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 street3 t3 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 street1 t4 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 street2 t5 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 street4 t6 t_id as new Index: school_code class name date_Of_Birth weight address t_id t1 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 street1 t2 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 32 street2 t3 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 street3 t4 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 street1 t5 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 street2 t6 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 street4
