Example 1: python pandas drop
df = pd.DataFrame(np.arange(12).reshape(3, 4),
... columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
>>> df
A B C D
0 0 1 2 3
1 4 5 6 7
2 8 9 10 11
Drop columns
>>> df.drop(['B', 'C'], axis=1)
A D
0 0 3
1 4 7
2 8 11
>>> df.drop(columns=['B', 'C'])
A D
0 0 3
1 4 7
2 8 11
Example 2: df.drop
>>>df = pd.DataFrame(np.arange(12).reshape(3, 4),
columns=['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])
>>>df
A B C D
0 0 1 2 3
1 4 5 6 7
2 8 9 10 11
>>> df.drop(['B', 'C'], axis=1)
A D
0 0 3
1 4 7
2 8 11
OR
>>> df.drop(columns=['B', 'C'])
A D
0 0 3
1 4 7
2 8 11
