Random DataFrame Combination with Pandas and Modin

  • Share this:

Code introduction


This function generates a random DataFrame of specified rows and columns using the Pandas and Modin libraries. First, it creates a random DataFrame using Pandas, then converts it to a Modin DataFrame. After that, depending on a random choice, it applies either a Pandas-specific or Modin-specific function.


Technology Stack : Pandas, NumPy, Modin
