Code used in this Python Code Clip:

import pandas as pd

import statsmodels.api as sm #(To access mtcars dataset)
mtcars = sm.datasets.get_rdataset("mtcars", "datasets", cache=True).data

mtcars.head()

# Delete by column by name

del mtcars["cyl"]

mtcars.head()

# Delete columns by name with df.drop()

mtcars = mtcars.drop(["hp", "carb"], # Cols to drop
axis = 1) # 1 for columns

mtcars.head()

# Delete columns by index position with df.drop()

mtcars = mtcars.drop(mtcars.columns[[1,3]], # Index of cols to drop
axis = 1) # 1 for columns

mtcars.head()



* Note: YouTube does not allow greater than or less than symbols in the text description, so the code above will not be exactly the same as the code shown in the video! I will use Unicode large ＜ and ＞ symbols in place of the standard sized ones. .
