d) for x range(5)

16. The is operator checks:


a) Value equality
b) Identity equality
c) String equality

Explanation: The is operator in Python checks identity equality, meaning it checks whether
two variables point to the same object in memory, not whether their values are equal.

b) DataFrame.add()
c) DataFrame.insert()
d) DataFrame.loc[]
you can also simply add a new column by directly assigning a value to a new column
name, like: df['new_column'] = value

loc[] can also be used to assign values to a new column, for example: df.loc[:,
'new_column'] = value, but insert() is specifically designed for inserting a column at a
particular position in the DataFrame.

loc[ ] can be used for adding a row at a specific index, but it is not a dedicated method for
appending rows.]
