parameter

return

It returns a dictionary representing the passed Dataframe.

Example Code: DataFrame.to_dict()Method to Convert DataFrame to Dictionary of Dictionaries

To convert the DataFrame to a dictionary of dictionaries, we will not pass any arguments.

import pandas as pd

dataframe=pd.DataFrame({'Attendance': {0: 60, 1: 100, 2: 80,3: 78,4: 95},
                        'Name': {0: 'Olivia', 1: 'John', 2: 'Laura',3: 'Ben',4: 'Kevin'},
                        'Obtained Marks': {0: 90, 1: 75, 2: 82, 3: 64, 4: 45}})
print("The Original Data frame is: \n")
print(dataframe)

dataframe1 = dataframe.to_dict()
print("The Dictionary of Dictionaries is: \n")
print(dataframe1)

Output:

The Original Data frame is: 

   Attendance    Name  Obtained Marks
0          60  Olivia              90
1         100    John              75
2          80   Laura              82
3          78     Ben              64
4          95   Kevin              45
The Dictionary of Dictionaries is: 

{'Attendance': {0: 60, 1: 100, 2: 80, 3: 78, 4: 95}, 'Obtained Marks': {0: 90, 1: 75, 2: 82, 3: 64, 4: 45}, 'Name': {0: 'Olivia', 1: 'John', 2: 'Laura', 3: 'Ben', 4: 'Kevin'}}

This function returns a dictionary of dictionaries.

Example Code: How to DataFrame.to_dict()Convert DataFrame to SeriesDictionary

To convert a DataFrame to Seriesa dictionary of , we pass seriesas orientthe argument.

import pandas as pd

dataframe=pd.DataFrame({'Attendance': {0: 60, 1: 100, 2: 80,3: 78,4: 95},
                        'Name': {0: 'Olivia', 1: 'John', 2: 'Laura',3: 'Ben',4: 'Kevin'},
                        'Obtained Marks': {0: 90, 1: 75, 2: 82, 3: 64, 4: 45}})
print("The Original Data frame is: \n")
print(dataframe)

dataframe1 = dataframe.to_dict('series')
print("The Dictionary of Series is: \n")
print(dataframe1)

Output:

The Original Data frame is: 

   Attendance    Name  Obtained Marks
0          60  Olivia              90
1         100    John              75
2          80   Laura              82
3          78     Ben              64
4          95   Kevin              45
The Dictionary of Series is: 

{'Attendance': 0     60
1    100
2     80
3     78
4     95
Name: Attendance, dtype: int64, 'Obtained Marks': 0    90
1    75
2    82
3    64
4    45
Name: Obtained Marks, dtype: int64, 'Name': 0    Olivia
1      John
2     Laura
3       Ben
4     Kevin
Name: Name, dtype: object}

The function returns Seriesa dictionary.
