how to concat two columns in pandas code example

Example 1: python merge strings in columns

df["period"] = df["Year"].astype(str) + df["quarter"]

Example 2: pandas concat two dataframes

# Concating Means putting frames on bottom of one another
#              ---   ---
#              |  df1  |
#              |  df2  |
# Concating => |   .   |
#              |   .   |
#              |  dfn  |
#              ---   ---
# Command : pd.concat([df1,df2,...,dfn])   ; df = a dataframe

df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3'],
                    'B': ['B0', 'B1', 'B2', 'B3'],
                    'C': ['C0', 'C1', 'C2', 'C3'],
                    'D': ['D0', 'D1', 'D2', 'D3']},
                     index=[0, 1, 2, 3])

df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A4', 'A5', 'A6', 'A7'],
                    'B': ['B4', 'B5', 'B6', 'B7'],
                    'C': ['C4', 'C5', 'C6', 'C7'],
                    'D': ['D4', 'D5', 'D6', 'D7']},
                     index=[4, 5, 6, 7])

df3 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A8', 'A9', 'A10', 'A11'],
                    'B': ['B8', 'B9', 'B10', 'B11'],
                    'C': ['C8', 'C9', 'C10', 'C11'],
                    'D': ['D8', 'D9', 'D10', 'D11']},
                     index=[8, 9, 10, 11])

frames = [df1, df2, df3]

result = pd.concat(frames)

# Note : use ignore_index=True if you need it in pd.concat

Example 3: concat columns pandas dataframe

In [1]: df1 = pd.DataFrame(
   ...:     {
   ...:         "A": ["A0", "A1", "A2", "A3"],
   ...:         "B": ["B0", "B1", "B2", "B3"],
   ...:         "C": ["C0", "C1", "C2", "C3"],
   ...:         "D": ["D0", "D1", "D2", "D3"],
   ...:     },
   ...:     index=[0, 1, 2, 3],
   ...: )
   
In [8]: df4 = pd.DataFrame(
   ...:     {
   ...:         "B": ["B2", "B3", "B6", "B7"],
   ...:         "D": ["D2", "D3", "D6", "D7"],
   ...:         "F": ["F2", "F3", "F6", "F7"],
   ...:     },
   ...:     index=[2, 3, 6, 7],
   ...: )
   ...: 

In [9]: result = pd.concat([df1, df4], axis=1)
# This will merge columns of both the dataframes

Example 4: 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 5: concat 3 column in pandas

In[17]:df['combined']=df['bar'].astype(str)+'_'+df['foo']+'_'+df['new']

In[17]:df
Out[18]: 
   bar foo     new    combined
0    1   a   apple   1_a_apple
1    2   b  banana  2_b_banana
2    3   c    pear    3_c_pear

Example 6: merge two columns pandas

df["period"] = df["Year"] + df["quarter"]
