add column to dataframe pandas from another dataframe code example

Example 1: how to add a column to a pandas df

#using the insert function:
df.insert(location, column_name, list_of_values) 
#example
df.insert(0, 'new_column', ['a','b','c'])
#explanation:
#put "new_column" as first column of the dataframe
#and puts 'a','b' and 'c' as values

#using array-like access:
df['new_column_name'] = value

#df stands for dataframe

Example 2: add column to df from another df

# pre 0.24
feature_file_df['RESULT'] = RESULT_df['RESULT'].values
# >= 0.24
feature_file_df['RESULT'] = RESULT_df['RESULT'].to_numpy()

Example 3: Adding a new column in pandas dataframe from another dataframe with different index

merge(left, right, how='left', on=None, left_on=None, right_on=None,
      left_index=False, right_index=False, sort=True,
      suffixes=('_x', '_y'), copy=True)
