Pandas: Get the length of the string present of a given column in a DataFrame
Write a Pandas program to get the length of the string present of a given column in a DataFrame.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({
'company_code': ['Abcd','EFGF', 'skfsalf', 'sdfslew', 'safsdf'],
'date_of_sale ': ['12/05/2002','16/02/1999','25/09/1998','12/02/2022','15/09/1997'],
'sale_amount': [12348.5, 233331.2, 22.5, 2566552.0, 23.0]})
print("Original DataFrame:")
print(df)
print("\nLength of the string in a column:")
df['company_code_length'] = df['company_code'].apply(len)
print(df)
Sample Output:
Original DataFrame: company_code date_of_sale sale_amount 0 Abcd 12/05/2002 12348.5 1 EFGF 16/02/1999 233331.2 2 skfsalf 25/09/1998 22.5 3 sdfslew 12/02/2022 2566552.0 4 safsdf 15/09/1997 23.0 Length of the string in a column: company_code ... company_code_length 0 Abcd ... 4 1 EFGF ... 4 2 skfsalf ... 7 3 sdfslew ... 7 4 safsdf ... 6 [5 rows x 4 columns]
