How to Reorganize Index and Column in a Pandas DataFrame for a Palindrome Checker

Have you ever faced the challenge of displaying data in a specific format using Python’s Pandas library? If so, you're not alone! One common task is checking if a number is a palindrome and structuring the output in a way that's easy to read. In this guide, we will guide you through the process of creating a palindrome checker in Python and then formatting the output DataFrame to meet your specific requirements. Let's dive in!

Understanding the Problem

A palindrome is a number that remains the same when its digits are reversed. For example, the number 121 is a palindrome, while 123 is not.
You might want to create a DataFrame that not only checks whether a number is a palindrome or not but also displays the output with the columns and indices formatted in a particular way.

The Desired Output

Consider this desired structure for your DataFrame:

Solution: Step-by-Step Guide

Let’s break down how to create a Pandas DataFrame that checks for palindromes and formats the output as requested.

Step 1: Setting Up the Environment

First, you need to ensure that you have the Pandas library installed. If it’s not already installed, you can do it using pip:

Step 2: Create the Initial DataFrame

You can start by creating a simple DataFrame that holds numbers. In our example, let’s consider the numbers stored in a list:

Step 3: Check for Palindromes

Next, you will need to check if these numbers are palindromes. You can achieve this with a simple comparison trick by reversing the string representation of each number:

Step 4: Formatting the DataFrame

Once you have checked for palindromes, you can transpose the DataFrame to get the desired structure:

This will rearrange your DataFrame from rows to columns, keeping your the palindromic check in place.

Step 5: Print the Resulting DataFrame

Finally, you can print your transposed DataFrame to see the results formatted correctly:

The output will look something like this:

Summary

You've now learned how to create a simple palindrome checker in Python and how to structure the output DataFrame using Pandas. By following these steps, you can easily format your DataFrame to fit your requirements. Remember that using apply() for checking conditions allows for great flexibility.
