Challenge 4: Altering DataFrame

Pandas provides a plethora of tools that allow for easy modification of both data and structure of DataFrames. These capabilities are essential because:

  • Data Cleaning: Real-world datasets are often messy. The ability to transform and clean data ensures its readiness for analysis.
  • Versatility: Frequently, the structure of a dataset may not align with the requirements of a given task. Being able to reshape data can be a lifesaver.
  • Efficiency: Direct modifications to DataFrames, as opposed to creating new ones, can save memory and improve performance.

Getting familiar with the techniques to alter data and the structure of DataFrames is a key step in becoming proficient with Pandas.

Task

Harness the power of Pandas to alter data and the structure of DataFrames:

  1. Add a new column to a DataFrame with values Engineer, Doctor and Artist.
  2. Rename columns in a DataFrame. Change the Name column into Full Name and the Age column into Age (years).
  3. Drop a column City from a DataFrame.
  4. Sort a DataFrame based on the Age column (descending).

Task

Harness the power of Pandas to alter data and the structure of DataFrames:

  1. Add a new column to a DataFrame with values Engineer, Doctor and Artist.
  2. Rename columns in a DataFrame. Change the Name column into Full Name and the Age column into Age (years).
  3. Drop a column City from a DataFrame.
  4. Sort a DataFrame based on the Age column (descending).
