Operations On Dataframe in Python

Checking data types of each Column in a Data Frame.

• If you want to check the data type of each column, because whenever you have been given a data, you want to really check what is the structure of the data; that means, which variable has which data type?

• In, that case you can use dtypes, because that returns a series with the data type of each column and the syntax would be you use dtypes along with the Data Frame name.

• So, Data Frame.dtypes will give you a series with the data type of each column

Here is the syntax.

Syntax = DataFrame.dtypes

                                      

Count of unique data types

• So, now we have an overall idea about what are the data types that we are going to work with using the cars_data. 

• There is also an option where you can get the count of unique data types available in your Data Frame.

• So, in that case get_dtype_counts, returns the counts of unique data types in the data frame.

Here is the syntax.

Syntax = get_dtype_counts()

Selecting data based on data types

• So, now we also have an overall idea about the count of unique data types that we are going to handle with. 

• So, now, we know about how to get the data type of each variables. So, there might be cases where you want to perform the operations only on a numerical data type.

• Similarly, there can be cases where you are going to work with only categorical data type.

Here is the syntax.

Syntax = pandas.DataFrame.select.dtypes()
