Mastering Pandas Index: Essential Tips for Creating and Using DataFrames 📊

The DataFrame index is core to the functionality of pandas, yet it confuses many users. In this video, I'll explain what the index is used for and why you might want to store your data in the index. I'll also demonstrate how to set and reset the index, and show how that affects the DataFrame's shape and contents.

In this short video, we will learn how to set Pandas Dataframe Index.
Pandas Dataframe Index is basically the row labels of the Pandas Dataframe.
We will learn to set pandas dataframe index while creating a Pandas Dataframe.

Then we will set the pandas dataframe index using pandas.set_index() (pd.set_index()) and later on we will reset the index of the pandas dataframe using pd.reset_index() (pandas.reset_index())

pd.reset_index() will give the default range index to the Pandas Dataframe.

Python Pandas is an open source library which provides high-performance, easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools for the Python programming language.

In this video, we will learn to create a Python Pandas Dataframe from a CSV file of Stack Overflow Survey 2019 results.

Then we will learn how to set the index of a Python Pandas Dataframe using pandas.set_index(). We will also learn to reset the index of Python Pandas Dataframe.
