How to extract specific columns without index no. and with all the rows in python dataframe?

Question

#df

index  a   b   c
1      2   3   4
2      3   4   5

Please help me how to extract columns "a" and "c" with all the rows but without the index column.

df[["a","c"]] # But index no. is also coming, so how to remove the index no.?

Answer 1

DataFrames and Series will always have an index, you can use:

df[["a","c"]].values

output:

array([[2, 4],
       [3, 5]], dtype=int64)
