Advanced Techniques in pandas
1. Getting Familiar With Indexing and Selecting Data
Checking the Column Type
If you can come across the column 'Fare'
, the numbers here are separated with the -
sign. It looks weird, doesn't it? We used to use .
as the separator, and Python can understand numbers separated only with dots. Let's check the type of this column. You can do so using the attribute .dtypes
. Look at the example with the column 'Age'
.
import pandas as pd data = pd.read_csv('https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/4bf24830-59ba-4418-969b-aaf8117d522e/titanic3.csv', index_col = 0) print(data['Age'].dtypes)
Explanation:
The .dtypes
syntax is simple; you just apply it to the column or to the whole data set. In our case, the type is float64.
