pandas insert code example

Example 1: pandas insert column in the beginning

insert_index = 0
insert_colname = 'new column'
insert_values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] # this can be a numpy array too
df.insert(loc=insert_index, column=insert_colname, value=insert_values)

Example 2: pandas insert row

import pandas as pd

data = {'name': ['Somu', 'Kiku', 'Amol', 'Lini'],
	'physics': [68, 74, 77, 78],
	'chemistry': [84, 56, 73, 69],
	'algebra': [78, 88, 82, 87]}

	
#create dataframe
df_marks = pd.DataFrame(data)
print('Original DataFrame\n------------------')
print(df_marks)

new_row = {'name':'Geo', 'physics':87, 'chemistry':92, 'algebra':97}
#append row to the dataframe
df_marks = df_marks.append(new_row, ignore_index=True)

print('\n\nNew row added to DataFrame\n--------------------------')
print(df_marks)

Example 3: pandas insert row

df.loc[-1] = [2, 3, 4]  # adding a row
 df.index = df.index + 1  # shifting index
 df = df.sort_index()  # sorting by index
