Pandas DataFrame is a two-dimensional size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data structure with labeled axes (rows and columns). Arithmetic operations align on both row and column labels. It can be thought of as a dict-like container for Series objects. This is the primary data structure of the Pandas.
Pandas DataFrame.to_records() function convert DataFrame to a NumPy record array. The index will be included as the first field of the record array if requested.
Syntax: DataFrame.to_records(index=True, convert_datetime64=None, column_dtypes=None, index_dtypes=None)
Parameter :
index : bool, default True
convert_datetime64 : Whether to convert the index to datetime.datetime if it is a DatetimeIndex.
column_dtypes : If a string or type, the data type to store all columns
index_dtypes : If a string or type, the data type to store all index levelsReturns : numpy.recarray
Example #1: Use DataFrame.to_records() function to convert the given Dataframe to a numpy record array.
# importing pandas as pd import pandas as pd # Creating the DataFrame df = pd.DataFrame({'Weight':[45, 88, 56, 15, 71], 'Name':['Sam', 'Andrea', 'Alex', 'Robin', 'Kia'], 'Age':[14, 25, 55, 8, 21]}) # Create the index index_ = pd.date_range('2010-10-09 08:45', periods = 5, freq ='H') # Set the index df.index = index_ # Print the DataFrame print(df) |
Output :
Now we will use DataFrame.to_records() function to convert the given dataframe to a numpy record array representation.
# convert to numpy record array result = df.to_records() # Print the result print(result) |
Output :
As we can see in the output, the DataFrame.to_records() function has successfully converted the given dataframe to a numpy record array representation.
Example #2: Use DataFrame.to_records() function to convert the given Dataframe to a numpy record array.
# importing pandas as pd import pandas as pd # Creating the DataFrame df = pd.DataFrame({"A":[12, 4, 5, None, 1], "B":[7, 2, 54, 3, None], "C":[20, 16, 11, 3, 8], "D":[14, 3, None, 2, 6]}) # Create the index index_ = ['Row_1', 'Row_2', 'Row_3', 'Row_4', 'Row_5'] # Set the index df.index = index_ # Print the DataFrame print(df) |
Output :
Now we will use DataFrame.to_records() function to convert the given dataframe to a numpy record array representation.
# convert to numpy record array result = df.to_records() # Print the result print(result) |
Output :
As we can see in the output, the DataFrame.to_records() function has successfully converted the given dataframe to a numpy record array representation.
