Pandas Dataframe.assign() method assigns new columns to a DataFrame, returning the new object (a copy) with the new columns added to the original ones. Please be careful while assigning the new columns because existing columns that are re-assigned will be overwritten.

Existing columns that are re-assigned will be overwritten. The length of the newly assigned column must match the number of rows in the  DataFrame.
