Pandas Practice Set-1: Remove multiple rows at once from diamonds dataframe

Last update on December 21 2024 07:54:19 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Pandas program to remove multiple rows at once (axis=0 refers to rows) from diamonds dataframe.

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
diamonds = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwaskom/seaborn-data/master/diamonds.csv')
print("Original Dataframe:")
print(diamonds.head())
print("\nRemove multiple rows:")
diamonds.drop([2, 4, 5], axis=0, inplace=True)
print(diamonds.head())

Sample Output:

Original Dataframe:
   carat      cut color clarity  depth  table  price     x     y     z
0   0.23    Ideal     E     SI2   61.5   55.0    326  3.95  3.98  2.43
1   0.21  Premium     E     SI1   59.8   61.0    326  3.89  3.84  2.31
2   0.23     Good     E     VS1   56.9   65.0    327  4.05  4.07  2.31
3   0.29  Premium     I     VS2   62.4   58.0    334  4.20  4.23  2.63
4   0.31     Good     J     SI2   63.3   58.0    335  4.34  4.35  2.75

Remove multiple rows:
   carat        cut color clarity  depth  table  price     x     y     z
0   0.23      Ideal     E     SI2   61.5   55.0    326  3.95  3.98  2.43

6   0.24  Very Good     I    VVS1   62.3   57.0    336  3.95  3.98  2.47
7   0.26  Very Good     H     SI1   61.9   55.0    337  4.07  4.11  2.53
