I have one simple question about types of data in Pandas DataFrame:

A column which has values like: 

1, 
22, 
56, 
66

is a numerical values column.
What is a type of values in column which has values like this: 

radio, 
TV, 
Car

and so on ?

  • `int`? `string`? – jezrael Mar 16 '20 at 13:45

    Beware there are two different things here: the type of the value and the dtype of the column. A column with an int dtype (int32 or int64 for example) can only contain integer values. A column with a floating point type (float32 or float64) can only contain floating point values, including NaN. But a column with `object` dtype can contain any value, be it string, integer or float. – Serge Ballesta Mar 16 '20 at 13:52

  • Have you looked at the Pandas docs? – AMC Mar 16 '20 at 21:41
  • I reformatted the entities into a visible column. This display should be more intuitive. – zx485 Mar 16 '20 at 21:46
