With the DataFrame.median() method, you can compute the median of the entire DataFrame or of a specific column.
Here is the code
# To use dataframes
import pandas as pd
# We create a sample dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({"col1" : [2, 1, 4, 2, 0]})
# We compute and show the median value of a specific dataframe column
print(df["col1"].median())
# We compute and show the median value of the entire dataframe
print(df.median())
Here you are! You now know how to compute the median value of DataFrame with Pandas using Python.
