Convert pandas dataframe to NumPy array

Question

I am interested in knowing how to convert a pandas dataframe into a NumPy array.

dataframe:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

index = [1, 2, 3,         


        

Answer 1

A simple way to convert dataframe to numpy array:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2], "B": [3, 4]})
df_to_array = df.to_numpy()
array([[1, 3],
   [2, 4]])

Use of to_numpy is encouraged to preserve consistency.
