64. Read Diamonds DataFrame and Detect Duplicate 'color'

Write a Pandas program to read the diamonds DataFrame and detect duplicate color.

Note: duplicated () function returns boolean Series denoting duplicate rows, optionally only considering certain columns.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import pandas as pd
diamonds = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mwaskom/seaborn-data/master/diamonds.csv')
print("Original Dataframe:")
print(diamonds.shape)
print("\nCount the duplicate items:")
print(diamonds.clarity.duplicated().sum())

Sample Output:

Original Dataframe:
(53940, 10)

Count the duplicate items:
53932
