Unique Values
Data often gets duplicated in DataFrames. For instance, in our countries
DataFrame, the continent
column has repeated entries. There's a function that retrieves an array of distinct values from a specific DataFrame column. Let's revisit this DataFrame.
import pandas as pd dataset = {'country' : ['Thailand', 'Philippines', 'Monaco', 'Malta', 'Sweden', 'Paraguay', 'Latvia'], 'continent' : ['Asia', 'Asia', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'South America', 'Europe'], 'capital':['Bangkok', 'Manila', 'Monaco', 'Valletta', 'Stockholm', 'Asuncion', 'Riga']} countries = pd.DataFrame(dataset) print(countries)
Now, let's apply the unique()
method to the 'continent'
and 'country'
columns.
import pandas as pd dataset = {'country' : ['Thailand', 'Philippines', 'Monaco', 'Malta', 'Sweden', 'Paraguay', 'Latvia'], 'continent' : ['Asia', 'Asia', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'South America', 'Europe'], 'capital':['Bangkok', 'Manila', 'Monaco', 'Valletta', 'Stockholm', 'Asuncion', 'Riga']} countries = pd.DataFrame(dataset) unique_countries = countries['country'].unique() unique_continents = countries['continent'].unique() print(unique_countries) print(unique_continents)
Task
Given the audi_cars
DataFrame, please identify all distinct values in the 'year'
and 'fueltype'
columns.
Thanks for your feedback!
