5.11. DataFrame Update

df['column'] = 0
df[1:2] = 0
.loc[df['species'] == 0, 'species'] = 'Setosa'
.replace()
.eval()

5.11.1. Update Column

>>> import pandas as pd
>>>
>>>
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({
...     'A': [10, 11, 12],
...     'B': [20, 21, 22],
...     'C': [30, 31, 32]})
>>>
>>> df
    A   B   C
0  10  20  30
1  11  21  31
2  12  22  32
>>>
>>> df['C'] = 0
>>> df
    A   B  C
0  10  20  0
1  11  21  0
2  12  22  0

5.11.2. Update Row

>>> import pandas as pd
>>>
>>>
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({
...     'A': [10, 11, 12],
...     'B': [20, 21, 22],
...     'C': [30, 31, 32]})
>>>
>>> df
    A   B   C
0  10  20  30
1  11  21  31
2  12  22  32
>>>
>>> df[1:2] = 0
>>> df
    A   B   C
0  10  20  30
1   0   0   0
2  12  22  32
>>>
>>> df[::2] = 99
>>> df
    A   B   C
0  99  99  99
1   0   0   0
2  99  99  99

5.11.3. Use Case - 1

>>> 
... df.loc[df['species'] == 0, 'species'] = 'Setosa'
... df.loc[df['species'] == 1, 'species'] = 'Versicolor'
... df.loc[df['species'] == 2, 'species'] = 'Virginica'

5.11.4. Use Case - 2

>>> 
... df['species'].replace({
...     0: 'setosa',
...     1: 'versicolor',
...     2: 'virginica'
... }, inplace=True)
