#using the insert function:
df.insert(location, column_name, list_of_values)
#example
df.insert(0, 'new_column', ['a','b','c'])
#explanation:
#put "new_column" as first column of the dataframe
#and puts 'a','b' and 'c' as values
#using array-like access:
df['new_column_name'] = value
#df stands for dataframe
Adding new column to existing DataFrame in Pandas by assigning a list
# import pandas library
import pandas as pd
# create pandas DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'team': ['India', 'South Africa', 'New Zealand', 'England'],
'points': [10, 8, 3, 5],
'runrate': [0.5, 1.4, 2, -0.6],
'wins': [5, 4, 2, 2]})
# print the DataFrame
print(df)
# declare a new list and add the values into the list
match_lost = [2, 1, 3, 4]
# assign the list to the new DataFrame Column
df["lost"] = match_lost
# Print the new DataFrame
print(df)
#using the insert function:
df.insert(location, column_name, list_of_values)
#example
df.insert(0, 'new_column', ['a','b','c'])
#explanation:
#put "new_column" as first column of the dataframe
#and puts 'a','b' and 'c' as values
#using array access:
df['new_column_name'] = value
# Basic syntax:
pandas_dataframe['new_column_name'] = ['list', 'of', 'column', 'values']
# Note, the list of column values must have length equal to the number
# of rows in the pandas dataframe you are adding it to.
# Add column in which all rows will be value:
pandas_dataframe['new_column_name'] = value
# Where value can be a string, an int, a float, and etc
# Import pandas package

# Define a dictionary containing Students data

# Convert the dictionary into DataFrame
