Practice Problems: How To Join DataFrames in Pandas
Hey - Nick here! This page is a free excerpt from my $199 course Python for Finance, which is 50% off for the next 50 students.
If you want the full course, click here to sign up.
It’s now time for some practice problems! See below for details on how to proceed.
Course Repository & Practice Problems
All of the code for this course’s practice problems can be found in this GitHub repository.
There are two options that you can use to complete the practice problems:
- Open them in your browser with a platform called Binder using this link (recommended)
- Download the repository to your local computer and open them in a Jupyter Notebook using Anaconda (a bit more tedious)
Note that binder can take up to a minute to load the repository, so please be patient.
Within that repository, there is a folder called starter-files and a folder called finished-files. You should open the appropriate practice problems within the starter-files folder and only consult the corresponding file in the finished-files folder if you get stuck.
The repository is public, which means that you can suggest changes using a pull request later in this course if you’d like.

Deep Dive Into Pandas DataFrame Join — pd.join()
A deep dive visual tutorial on how to join columns with other data frames in pandas
he join( ) function of the pandas’ library is used to join columns of another DataFrame. It can efficiently join columns with another DataFrame on index or on a key column. We can also join multiple DataFrame objects by passing a list. Let’s start by understanding its’ syntax and parameters. The companion materials for this tutorial can be found under our resources section.

Pandas DataFrame vs. Spark DataFrame: When Parallel Computing Matters
With Performance Comparison Analysis and Guided Example of Animated 3D Wireframe Plot
Python is famous for its vast selection of libraries and resources from the open-source community. As a Data Analyst/Engineer/Scientist, one might be familiar with popular packages such as Numpy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Keras, and TensorFlow. Together these modules help us extract value out of data and propels the field of analytics. As data continue to become larger and more complex, one other element to consider is a framework dedicated to processing Big Data, such as Apache Spark. In this article, I will demonstrate the capabilities of distributed/cluster computing and present a comparison between the Pandas DataFrame and Spark DataFrame. My hope is to provide more conviction on choosing the right implementation.
Pandas DataFrame
Pandas has become very popular for its ease of use. It utilizes DataFrames to present data in tabular format like a spreadsheet with rows and columns. Importantly, it has very intuitive methods to perform common analytical tasks and a relatively flat learning curve. It loads all of the data into memory on a single machine (one node) for rapid execution. While the Pandas DataFrame has proven to be tremendously powerful in manipulating data, it does have its limits. With data growing at an exponentially rate, complex data processing becomes expensive to handle and causes performance degradation. These operations require parallelization and distributed computing, which the Pandas DataFrame does not support.
Introducing Cluster/Distribution Computing and Spark DataFrame
Apache Spark is an open-source cluster computing framework. With cluster computing, data processing is distributed and performed in parallel by multiple nodes. This is recognized as the MapReduce framework because the division of labor can usually be characterized by sets of the map, shuffle, and reduce operations found in functional programming. Spark’s implementation of cluster computing is unique because processes 1) are executed in-memory and 2) build up a query plan which does not execute until necessary (known as lazy execution). Although Spark’s cluster computing framework has a broad range of utility, we only look at the Spark DataFrame for the purpose of this article. Similar to those found in Pandas, the Spark DataFrame has intuitive APIs, making it easy to implement.

How to add a new column to Pandas DataFrame?
In this tutorial, we are going to discuss different ways to add a new column to pandas data frame.

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.
