I have a Python Pandas DataFrame:
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(5,3),columns=list('ABC'))
print df
A B C
0 0.041761178 0.60439116 0.349372206
1 0.820455992 0.245314299 0.635568504
2 0.517482167 0.7257227 0.982969949
3 0.208934899 0.594973111 0.671030326
4 0.651299752 0.617672419 0.948121305
Question: I would like to add the first column to the whole dataframe. I would like to get this:
A B C
0 0.083522356 0.646152338 0.391133384
1 1.640911984 1.065770291 1.456024496
2 1.034964334 1.243204867 1.500452116
3 0.417869798 0.80390801 0.879965225
4 1.302599505 1.268972171 1.599421057
For the first row:
- A: 0.04176 + 0.04176 = 0.08352
- B: 0.04176 + 0.60439 = 0.64615
- etc
Requirements:
I cannot refer to the first column using its column name.
eg.: df.A
is not acceptable; df.iloc[:,0]
is acceptable.
Attempt: I tried this using:
print df.add(df.iloc[:,0], fill_value=0)
but it is not working. It returns the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:test.py", line 20, in <module>
print df.add(df.iloc[:,0], fill_value=0)
File "C:\python27\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\ops.py", line 771, in f
return self._combine_series(other, na_op, fill_value, axis, level)
File "C:\python27\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\frame.py", line 2939, in _combine_series
return self._combine_match_columns(other, func, level=level, fill_value=fill_value)
File "C:\python27\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\frame.py", line 2975, in _combine_match_columns
fill_value)
NotImplementedError: fill_value 0 not supported
Is it possible to take the sum of all columns of a DataFrame with the first column?
