Python - Calculate the minimum of column values of a Pandas DataFrame
To get the minimum of column values, use the min() function. At first, import the required Pandas library −
import pandas as pd
Now, create a DataFrame with two columns −
dataFrame1 = pd.DataFrame(
{
"Car": ['BMW', 'Lexus', 'Audi', 'Tesla', 'Bentley', 'Jaguar'],"Units": [100, 150, 110, 80, 110, 90] }
)Finding the minimum value of a single column “Units” using min() −
print"Minimum Units from DataFrame1 = ",dataFrame1['Units'].min()
In the same way, we have calculated the minimum value from the 2nd DataFrame.
Example
Following is the complete code −
import pandas as pd
# Create DataFrame1
dataFrame1 = pd.DataFrame(
{
"Car": ['BMW', 'Lexus', 'Audi', 'Tesla', 'Bentley', 'Jaguar'],"Units": [100, 150, 110, 80, 110, 90] }
)
print"DataFrame1 ...\n",dataFrame1
# Finding minimum value of a single column "Units"
print"Minimum Units from DataFrame1 = ",dataFrame1['Units'].min()
# Create DataFrame2
dataFrame2 = pd.DataFrame(
{
"Product": ['TV', 'PenDrive', 'HeadPhone', 'EarPhone', 'HDD', 'SSD'],"Price": [8000, 500, 3000, 1500, 3000, 4000]
}
)
print"\nDataFrame2 ...\n",dataFrame2
# Finding minimum value of a single column "Price"
print"Minimum Price from DataFrame2 = ",dataFrame2['Price'].min()Output
This will produce the following output −
DataFrame1 ... Car Units 0 BMW 100 1 Lexus 150 2 Audi 110 3 Tesla 80 4 Bentley 110 5 Jaguar 90 Minimum Units from DataFrame1 = 80 DataFrame2 ... Price Product 0 8000 TV 1 500 PenDrive 2 3000 HeadPhone 3 1500 EarPhone 4 3000 HDD 5 4000 SSD Minimum Price from DataFrame2 = 500
