bookUnique Values

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.
