In contrast, the attribute index returns actual index labels, not numeric row-indices: or equivalently, You can see the difference quite clearly by playing with a DataFrame with a non-default index that does not equal to the row’s numerical position: If you want to use the index, … Read more

Map like structure in C: use int and struct to determine a value

You’ll probably have to make your own structure. The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie has an example of making an associate map in c, and what I’ll detail below is based on what I remember from that.

However, it is possible to venture a guess: df.reset_index(drop=True) drops the current index of the DataFrame and replaces it with an index of increasing … Read more
