python set a value for multiple new columns pandas code example

Example 1: set dtype for multiple columns pandas

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'id':['a1', 'a2', 'a3', 'a4'],

                   'B':['1', '1', '1', '1'],
                   'C':['0', '1', '1', '0']})

df[['A', 'B', 'C']] = df[['A', 'B', 'C']].apply(pd.to_numeric, axis = 1)

Example 2: 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
