Pandas DataFrame: Create and display a DataFrame from a specified dictionary data which has the index labels

Pandas: DataFrame Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to create and display a DataFrame from a specified dictionary data which has the index labels.

Sample DataFrame:
exam_data = {'name': ['Anastasia', 'Dima', 'Katherine', 'James', 'Emily', 'Michael', 'Matthew', 'Laura', 'Kevin', 'Jonas'],
'score': [12.5, 9, 16.5, np.nan, 9, 20, 14.5, np.nan, 8, 19],
'attempts': [1, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1],
'qualify': ['yes', 'no', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes']}
labels = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j']

Sample Solution :-

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

exam_data  = {'name': ['Anastasia', 'Dima', 'Katherine', 'James', 'Emily', 'Michael', 'Matthew', 'Laura', 'Kevin', 'Jonas'],
        'score': [12.5, 9, 16.5, np.nan, 9, 20, 14.5, np.nan, 8, 19],
        'attempts': [1, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1],
        'qualify': ['yes', 'no', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes']}
labels = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j']

df = pd.DataFrame(exam_data , index=labels)
print(df)

Sample Output:

   attempts       name qualify  score                                  
a         1  Anastasia     yes   12.5                                  
b         3       Dima      no    9.0                                  
c         2  Katherine     yes   16.5                                  
d         3      James      no    NaN                                  
e         2      Emily      no    9.0                                  
f         3    Michael     yes   20.0                                  
g         1    Matthew     yes   14.5                                  
h         1      Laura      no    NaN                                  
i         2      Kevin      no    8.0                                  
j         1      Jonas     yes   19.0                                      

Explanation:

The above code creates a Pandas DataFrame ‘df’ containing information about exam scores of ten students, with columns name, score, attempts, and qualify, and row labels 'a' to 'j'.

• The name column contains the names of the students.
• The score column contains the exam scores of the students.
• The attempts column contains the number of attempts made by the students to pass the exam.
• The qualify column contains whether the students have qualified for the exam or not.

The DataFrame is created using a Python dictionary ‘exam_data’ and the index parameter is used to specify the row labels.

Finally, the DataFrame is printed using the print function.
