Method 2 : Using columns[]

This method will return the column based on index. So, we have to give 0 to get the first column

Syntax:

dataframe[dataframe.columns[0]]

where

  • dataframe is the input dataframe
  • columns[0] represent first column

Example: Python program to get the first column using columns[]

Python3




# import pandas module
import pandas as pd
  
# create dataframe with 3 columns
data = pd.DataFrame({
    "id": [7058, 7059, 7072, 7054],
    "name": ['sravan', 'jyothika', 'harsha', 'ramya'],
    "subjects": ['java', 'python', 'html/php', 'php/js']
}
)
  
# display dataframe
print(data)
  
print("--------------")
  
  
# get first column by returning dataframe
# using columns[] method
print(data[data.columns[0]])
