Pandas Practice Set-1: Drop all non-numeric columns from diamonds DataFrame

Last update on December 21 2024 07:54:26 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Pandas program to drop all non-numeric columns 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("\nDrop all non-numeric columns of diamonds DataFrame:")
print(diamonds.dtypes)

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

Drop all non-numeric columns of diamonds DataFrame:
carat      float64
cut         object
color       object
clarity     object
depth      float64
table      float64
price        int64
x          float64
y          float64
z          float64
dtype: object
