and vs when merge dataframe python code example

Example 1: pandas merge multiple dataframes

import pandas as pd
from functools import reduce

# compile the list of dataframes you want to merge
data_frames = [df1, df2, df3]
df_merged = reduce(lambda  left,right: pd.merge(left,right,on=['key_col'],
                                            how='outer'), data_frames)

Example 2: dataframe concatenate

# Pandas for Python

df['col1 & col2'] = df['col1']+df['col2']

#Output
#col1	col2	col1 & col2
#A1		A2		A1A2
#B1		B2		B1B2
