Pandas: Count number of columns of a DataFrame
57. Count Number of Columns
Write a Pandas program to count number of columns of a DataFrame.
Sample Solution :
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
d = {'col1': [1, 2, 3, 4, 7], 'col2': [4, 5, 6, 9, 5], 'col3': [7, 8, 12, 1, 11]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
print("Original DataFrame")
print(df)
print("\nNumber of columns:")
print(len(df.columns))
Sample Output:
Original DataFrame col1 col2 col3 0 1 4 7 1 2 5 8 2 3 6 12 3 4 9 1 4 7 5 11 Number of columns: 3
