print pandas's df

[landlord1984]

Here is my code:

import pandas as pd
web_stats={'Day':[1,2,3,4,5,6],
           'Visitor':[43,34,65,56,29,76],
           'Bounce Rate':[65,67,78,65,45,52]}
df=pd.DataFrame(web_stats)
print(df.head())

--------------
Output is:

   Bounce Rate  Day  Visitor
0           65    1       43
1           67    2       34
2           78    3       65
3           65    4       56
4           45    5       29
-------------------
My question is: Shouldn't it print column of Day and Visitor before Bounce Rate?

Please, use code tags in the future.

import pandas as pd
web_stats={'Day':[1,2,3,4,5,6],
           'Visitor':[43,34,65,56,29,76],
           'Bounce Rate':[65,67,78,65,45,52]}
df=pd.DataFrame(data=web_stats, columns=['Day', 'Visitor', 'Bounce Rate'])
print(df.head())

Output:
   Day  Visitor  Bounce Rate
0    1       43           65
1    2       34           67
2    3       65           78
3    4       56           65
4    5       29           45

Output:
   Day  Visitor  Bounce Rate 0    1       43           65 1    2       34           67 2    3       65           78 3    4       56           65 4    5       29           45

Thanks.

I am curious why we have to specify the order in "df=pd.DataFrame(data=web_stats, columns=['Day', 'Visitor', 'Bounce Rate'])".

In C++ or Matlab, array data are ordered as we typed.

In Python until v3.6 the dicts are unordered

web_stat is dict, i.e. unordered by design. unless specified DataFrame creates columns names from sorted dict keys. Of course if you prefer you can use OrderedDict from collections module.
