# Introduction In this lab, we will learn how to use the `assign()` method in the Pandas library in Python. The `assign()` method allows us to add new columns to a DataFrame and returns a new DataFrame object with all the original columns along with the new ones. We can assign new columns directly or by using functions or expressions. ## VM Tips After the VM startup is done, click the top left corner to switch to the **Notebook** tab to access Jupyter Notebook for practice. Sometimes, you may need to wait a few seconds for Jupyter Notebook to finish loading. The validation of operations cannot be automated because of limitations in Jupyter Notebook. If you face issues during learning, feel free to ask Labby. Provide feedback after the session, and we will promptly resolve the problem for you.
