Pandas: Start index with different value rather than 0 in a given DataFrame
Pandas Indexing: Exercise-25 with Solution
Write a Pandas program to start index with different value rather than 0 in a given DataFrame.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({
'school_code': ['s001','s002','s003','s001','s002','s004'],
'class': ['V', 'V', 'VI', 'VI', 'V', 'VI'],
'name': ['Alberto Franco','Gino Mcneill','Ryan Parkes', 'Eesha Hinton', 'Gino Mcneill', 'David Parkes'],
'date_of_birth': ['15/05/2002','17/05/2002','16/02/1999','25/09/1998','11/05/2002','15/09/1997'],
'weight': [35, 37, 33, 30, 31, 32]})
print("Original DataFrame:")
print(df)
print("\nDefault Index Range:")
print(df.index)
df.index += 10
print("\nNew Index Range:")
print(df.index)
print("\nDataFrame with new index:")
print(df)
Sample Output:
Original DataFrame: school_code class name date_of_birth weight 0 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 1 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 37 2 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 3 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 4 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 5 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 Default Index Range: RangeIndex(start=0, stop=6, step=1) New Index Range: RangeIndex(start=10, stop=16, step=1) DataFrame with new index: school_code class name date_of_birth weight 10 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 11 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 37 12 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 13 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 14 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 15 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
