This Python function, show_unique_values
, is designed to analyze and display the unique values in each column of a given Pandas DataFrame, dataframe
. Here's what it does step by step:
- It prints a decorative header made up of
=
characters and a descriptive message ("Unique values in each column"). - It then iterates over all the columns in the input DataFrame (
dataframe.columns
). - For each column:
- It calculates the unique values in the column using
dataframe[column].unique()
and stores them in the variableunique_values
. - It prints the column name, the count of unique values using
len(unique_values)
, and the actual unique values themselves.
- It calculates the unique values in the column using
- After processing all columns, it prints a final decorative footer made of
=
characters. - Lastly, the function is invoked on a DataFrame named
df
to display its unique values column by column.
Example Behavior:
For example, if df
is:
A B
0 1 x
1 2 y
2 1 x
3 3 z
4 2 x
The function will output:
==================================================
Unique values in each column
==================================================
Column: A
Number of unique values: 3
Unique values: [1 2 3]
Column: B
Number of unique values: 3
Unique values: ['x' 'y' 'z']
==================================================
This function is useful for exploratory data analysis, helping you quickly understand the diversity or cardinality of data in each column.
