add multiple columns to dataframe pandas code example

Example 1: pandas merge two columns from different dataframes

#suppose you have two dataframes df1 and df2, and 
#you need to merge them along the column id
df_merge_col = pd.merge(df1, df2, on='id')

Example 2: how to add the sum of multiple columns into another column in a dataframe

print(df)
   Apples  Bananas  Grapes  Kiwis
0     2.0      3.0     NaN    1.0
1     1.0      3.0     7.0    NaN
2     NaN      NaN     2.0    3.0

df['Fruit Total']=df.iloc[:,-4:].sum(axis=1)

print(df)
   Apples  Bananas  Grapes  Kiwis  Fruit Total
0     2.0      3.0     NaN    1.0          6.0
1     1.0      3.0     7.0    NaN         11.0
2     NaN      NaN     2.0    3.0          5.0

Example 3: python add multiple columns to pandas dataframe

# Basic syntax:
df[['new_column_1_name', 'new_column_2_name']] = pd.DataFrame([[np.nan, 'word']], index=df.index)
# Where the columns you're adding have to be pandas dataframes

# Example usage:
# Define example dataframe:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'col_1': [0, 1, 2, 3],
    'col_2': [4, 5, 6, 7]
})

print(df)
   col_1  col_2
0      0      4
1      1      5
2      2      6
3      3      7

# Add several columns simultaneously:
df[['new_col_1', 'new_col_2', 'new_col_3']] = pd.DataFrame([[np.nan, 42, 'wow']], index=df.index)
print(df)
   col_1  col_2  new_col_1  new_col_2 new_col_3
0      0      4        NaN         42       wow
1      1      5        NaN         42       wow
2      2      6        NaN         42       wow
3      3      7        NaN         42       wow

# Note, this isn't much more efficient than simply doing three
#	separate assignments, e.g.:
df['new_col_1'] = np.nan
df['new_col_2'] = 42
df['new_col_3'] = 'wow'

Example 4: assign multiple columns pandas

import pandas as pd

df = {'col_1': [0, 1, 2, 3],
        'col_2': [4, 5, 6, 7]}
df = pd.DataFrame(df)

df[[ 'column_new_1', 'column_new_2','column_new_3']] = [np.nan, 'dogs',3]  #thought this wo
