Pandas: count things

Pandas: count things

In Pandas, you can count things in various ways using the count() method or other aggregation functions like groupby(). Here are some common scenarios for counting things in a DataFrame:

  1. Count Non-Null Values in a Column: To count the non-null values in a specific column of a DataFrame, you can use the count() method on that column:

    import pandas as pd data = {'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie', 'David', None], 'Age': [25, 30, None, 22, 28]} df = pd.DataFrame(data) # Count non-null values in the 'Age' column count_non_null = df['Age'].count() print(count_non_null) # Output: 4

  2. Count Unique Values in a Column: To count the unique values in a specific column, you can use the nunique() method:

    # Count unique values in the 'Name' column count_unique_names = df['Name'].nunique() print(count_unique_names) # Output: 4

  3. Count Occurrences of Specific Values: You can count the occurrences of specific values in a column using the value_counts() method:

    # Count occurrences of each value in the 'Age' column age_counts = df['Age'].value_counts() print(age_counts)

  4. Count by Group: To count things by group, you can use the groupby() function followed by an aggregation function like count():

    data = {'Category': ['A', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'A', 'B'], 'Value': [10, 20, 15, 25, 30, 35]} df = pd.DataFrame(data) # Count the number of entries in each category count_by_category = df.groupby('Category')['Value'].count() print(count_by_category)

  5. Count Rows in a DataFrame: To count the total number of rows in a DataFrame, you can use the shape attribute or the len() function:

    # Count the total number of rows total_rows = df.shape[0] # or len(df) print(total_rows)

These are some common examples of how to count things in a Pandas DataFrame. Depending on your specific use case, you can use these methods or customize them to suit your needs.
