Creating a zero-filled pandas data frame

Question

What is the best way to create a zero-filled pandas data frame of a given size?

I have used:

zero_data = np.zeros(shape=(len(data),len(feature_list)         


        

Answer 1

Similar to @Shravan, but without the use of numpy:

  height = 10
  width = 20
  df_0 = pd.DataFrame(0, index=range(height), columns=range(width))

Then you can do whatever you want with it:

post_instantiation_fcn = lambda x: str(x)
df_ready_for_whatever = df_0.applymap(post_instantiation_fcn)
