[968] Pandas, Data Frame, dtypes
In Pandas, you can use the dtypes
attribute of a DataFrame to get the data type of each column. Here's how you can do it:
import pandas as pd
# Create a sample DataFrame
data = {'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'],
'Age': [25, 30, 22],
'Salary': [50000, 60000, 45000]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
# Get the data type of each column
column_types = df.dtypes
print(column_types)
This will output:
Name object
Age int64
Salary int64
dtype: object
In this example, the dtypes
attribute returns a Series where the index corresponds to the column names, and the values are the data types of each column.
In Pandas, you can use the astype()
method to change the data type of a column in a DataFrame. Here's how you can do it:
import pandas as pd
# Create a sample DataFrame
data = {'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'],
'Age': [25, 30, 22],
'Salary': [50000, 60000, 45000]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
# Display the original DataFrame
print("Original DataFrame:")
print(df)
# Change the data type of the 'Age' column to float
df['Age'] = df['Age'].astype(float)
# Display the DataFrame after changing the data type
print("\nDataFrame after changing 'Age' column data type:")
print(df)
This will output:
Original DataFrame:
Name Age Salary
0 Alice 25 50000
1 Bob 30 60000
2 Charlie 22 45000
DataFrame after changing 'Age' column data type:
Name Age Salary
0 Alice 25.0 50000
1 Bob 30.0 60000
2 Charlie 22.0 45000
In this example, the astype(float)
method is used to change the data type of the 'Age' column to float. You can replace float
with the desired data type, such as int
, str
, etc., based on your requirements.
