Pandas: Selecting consecutive columns, rows

Pandas Filter: Exercise-22 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to select consecutive columns and also select rows with Index label 0 to 9 with some columns from world alcohol consumption dataset.

Test Data:

   Year       WHO region                Country Beverage Types  Display Value
0  1986  Western Pacific               Viet Nam           Wine           0.00
1  1986         Americas                Uruguay          Other           0.50
2  1985           Africa           Cte d'Ivoire           Wine           1.62
3  1986         Americas               Colombia           Beer           4.27
4  1987         Americas  Saint Kitts and Nevis           Beer           1.98   

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
# World alcohol consumption data
w_a_con = pd.read_csv('world_alcohol.csv')
print("World alcohol consumption sample data:")
print(w_a_con.head())
print("\nSelect consecutive columns:")
print(w_a_con.loc[:,"Country":"Display Value"].head())
print("\nAlternate command:")
print(w_a_con.iloc[:,2:5].head())
print("\nSelect rows with Index label 0 to 9 with specific columns:")
print(w_a_con.loc[0:9,["Year","Country","Display Value"]])

Sample Output:

World alcohol consumption sample data:
   Year       WHO region      ...      Beverage Types Display Value
0  1986  Western Pacific      ...                Wine          0.00
1  1986         Americas      ...               Other          0.50
2  1985           Africa      ...                Wine          1.62
3  1986         Americas      ...                Beer          4.27
4  1987         Americas      ...                Beer          1.98

[5 rows x 5 columns]

Select consecutive columns:
                 Country Beverage Types  Display Value
0               Viet Nam           Wine           0.00
1                Uruguay          Other           0.50
2           Cte d'Ivoire           Wine           1.62
3               Colombia           Beer           4.27
4  Saint Kitts and Nevis           Beer           1.98

Alternate command:
                 Country Beverage Types  Display Value
0               Viet Nam           Wine           0.00
1                Uruguay          Other           0.50
2           Cte d'Ivoire           Wine           1.62
3               Colombia           Beer           4.27
4  Saint Kitts and Nevis           Beer           1.98

Select rows with Index label 0 to 9 with specific columns:
   Year                Country  Display Value
0  1986               Viet Nam           0.00
1  1986                Uruguay           0.50
2  1985           Cte d'Ivoire           1.62
3  1986               Colombia           4.27
4  1987  Saint Kitts and Nevis           1.98
5  1987              Guatemala           0.00
6  1987              Mauritius           0.13
7  1985                 Angola           0.39
