What is a pandas data frame?

Pandas data frameis a two-dimensional heterogeneous data structure that stores the data in a tabular form with labeled indexes i.e. rows and columns.

Usually, data frames are used when we have to deal with a large dataset, then we can simply see the summary of that large dataset by loading it into a pandas data frame and see the summary of the data frame.

In the real-world scenario, a pandas data frame is created by loading the datasets from an existing CSV file, Excel file, etc.

But pandas data frame can be also created from the list, dictionary, list of lists, list of dictionaries, dictionary of ndarray/lists, etc. Before we start discussing how to add a new column to an existing data frame we require a pandas data frame.
