Using 'df_dropped', a data frame, which has a column 'Time'.



df_dropped['Time'] = df_dropped['Time'].apply(lambda x:'{:0>4}'.format(x))


I don't understand what the '{:0>4}'.format(x)' does.
Please explain the construction of this line '{:0>4}'.format(x)'

It adds 0 character to each elements of data-frame until it reach 4 character. If the element is more than 4 character will do nothing.
you can see below example:



import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(data=[23, "fsda", 289801, 87], columns=['Time'], index=[0, 1, 2, 3])
df['Time'] = df['Time'].apply(lambda x: '{:0>6}'.format(x))
