Examining our test dataset, we can identify that rows 11 and 12 are duplicates.
To detect duplicates, we can use the duplicated() method, which returns Boolean values for each row.
Returns True for each duplicate row; otherwise, it returns False.
| print(df.duplicated()) |
Use the drop_duplicates() method to remove duplicate rows.
Eliminate all duplicate rows.
| df.drop_duplicates(inplace = True) |
Note: Setting inplace=True ensures that duplicates are removed directly from the original DataFrame instead of returning a new one. |
