Pandas Example – Write a Pandas program to convert a specified character column in title case in a given DataFrame

(Python Example for Beginners)

 

Write a Pandas program to convert a specified character column in title case in a given DataFrame.

 

Sample Solution:

Python Code :


import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'company_code': ['Abcd','EFGF', 'zefsalf', 'sdfslew', 'zekfsdf'],
    '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("nTitle cases:")
df['company_code_title_cases'] = list(map(lambda x: x.title(), df['company_code']))
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      zefsalf   25/09/1998         22.5
3      sdfslew   12/02/2022    2566552.0
4      zekfsdf   15/09/1997         23.0

Title cases:
  company_code           ...            company_code_title_cases
0         Abcd           ...                                Abcd
1         EFGF           ...                                Efgf
2      zefsalf           ...                             Zefsalf
3      sdfslew           ...                             Sdfslew
4      zekfsdf           ...                             Zekfsdf

[5 rows x 4 columns]

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
