How to compute number of characters in each word in pandas series
In Python, the pandas library includes built-in functionalities that allow you to perform different tasks with only a few lines of code. One of these functionalities is computing the number of characters in each word.
Method
In this method, we first initialize a pandas series. We then iterate over each entry and compute the length of each entry of the series. Then, we map the lengths with each respective entry in the series.
#importing pandas libraryimport pandas as pd#initializing pandas seriesseries = pd.Series(['educative', 'io', 'edpresso'])#computing number of characters in seriesresult = series.map(lambda iterator: len(iterator))print(result)
The left column is the word index (i.e., which word of the three it is) and the right column is the number of letters in that word.
