Data often gets duplicated in DataFrames. For instance, in our countries DataFrame, the continent column has repeated entries. There's a function that retrieves an array of distinct values from a specific DataFrame column. Let's revisit this DataFrame.


              
1234567

            
import pandas as pd 

dataset = {'country' : ['Thailand', 'Philippines', 'Monaco', 'Malta', 'Sweden', 'Paraguay', 'Latvia'],
          'continent' : ['Asia', 'Asia', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'South America', 'Europe'],
          'capital':['Bangkok', 'Manila', 'Monaco', 'Valletta', 'Stockholm', 'Asuncion', 'Riga']}
countries = pd.DataFrame(dataset)
print(countries)
copy

Now, let's apply the unique() method to the 'continent' and 'country' columns.


              
12345678910

            
import pandas as pd

dataset = {'country' : ['Thailand', 'Philippines', 'Monaco', 'Malta', 'Sweden', 'Paraguay', 'Latvia'],
          'continent' : ['Asia', 'Asia', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'South America', 'Europe'],
          'capital':['Bangkok', 'Manila', 'Monaco', 'Valletta', 'Stockholm', 'Asuncion', 'Riga']}
countries = pd.DataFrame(dataset)
unique_countries = countries['country'].unique()
unique_continents = countries['continent'].unique()
print(unique_countries)
print(unique_continents)
