Pandas: Convert the datatype of a given column(floats to ints)
Pandas: DataFrame Exercise-51 with Solution
Write a Pandas program to convert the datatype of a given column(floats to ints).
Sample Solution :
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
exam_data = {'name': ['Anastasia', 'Dima', 'Katherine', 'James', 'Emily', 'Michael', 'Matthew', 'Laura', 'Kevin', 'Jonas'],
'score': [12.5, 9.1, 16.5, 12.77, 9.21, 20.22, 14.5, 11.34, 8.8, 19.13],
'attempts': [1, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1],
'qualify': ['yes', 'no', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes', 'yes', 'no', 'no', 'yes']}
df = pd.DataFrame(exam_data)
print("Original DataFrame:")
print(df)
print("\nData types of the columns of the said DataFrame:")
print(df.dtypes)
print("\nNow change the Data type of 'score' column from float to int:")
df.score = df.score.astype(int)
print(df)
print("\nData types of the columns of the DataFrame now:")
print(df.dtypes)
Sample Output:
Original DataFrame: attempts name qualify score 0 1 Anastasia yes 12.50 1 3 Dima no 9.10 2 2 Katherine yes 16.50 3 3 James no 12.77 4 2 Emily no 9.21 5 3 Michael yes 20.22 6 1 Matthew yes 14.50 7 1 Laura no 11.34 8 2 Kevin no 8.80 9 1 Jonas yes 19.13 Data types of the columns of the said DataFrame: attempts int64 name object qualify object score float64 dtype: object Now change the Data type of 'score' column from float to int: attempts name qualify score 0 1 Anastasia yes 12 1 3 Dima no 9 2 2 Katherine yes 16 3 3 James no 12 4 2 Emily no 9 5 3 Michael yes 20 6 1 Matthew yes 14 7 1 Laura no 11 8 2 Kevin no 8 9 1 Jonas yes 19 Data types of the columns of the DataFrame now: attempts int64 name object qualify object score int64 dtype: object

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")
