Python provides us with a number of data structures through which we can interact with data and perform operations on it. Particularly when it comes to data science and analysis, the data structures provided by Python have given shape to the processing it.<\/p>\n

Dataframe:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Python provides one such data structure, DataFrame. It saves data in the form of rows and columns. The datasets can be analyzed within the environment. These synchronized rows and columns are ready for data preprocessing and manipulation.<\/p>\n

The Python Pandas module provides a data structure called a DataFrame. It organizes data into rows and columns and stores it. As a result, we can have the data in the form of a matrix, with the entities represented as rows and columns.<\/p>\n

Removing a Column from a Python Dataframe<\/h2>\n

There are 3 simple methods to do this task.They are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using pop() method<\/li>\n
  2. Using del Keyword<\/li>\n
  3. Using drop() method<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    1)Using pop() method<\/h5>\n

    The pandas.dataframe.pop() method is used to remove or delete a column from a data frame by simply passing the column name as an argument.<\/p>\n

    Syntax:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    pandas.dataframe.pop('ColumnName')<\/pre>\n

    For Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Approach:<\/strong><\/p>\n
