Pandas: Calculate the number of characters in each word in a given series
Write a Pandas program to calculate the number of characters in each word in a given series.
Sample Solution :
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
series1 = pd.Series(['Php', 'Python', 'Java', 'C#'])
print("Original Series:")
print(series1)
result = series1.map(lambda x: len(x))
print("\nNumber of characters in each word in the said series:")
print(result)
Sample Output:
Original Series: 0 Php 1 Python 2 Java 3 C# dtype: object Number of characters in each word in the said series: 0 3 1 6 2 4 3 2 dtype: int64
Explanation:
In the above exercise -
series1 = pd.Series(['Php', 'Python', 'Java', 'C#']): This code creates a Pandas Series object 'series1' containing four strings representing different programming languages.
result = series1.map(lambda x: len(x)): This code applies a lambda function to each element of the Pandas Series object 'series1' using the .map() method. The lambda function takes a string x and returns the length of the string using the len() function.
