# Introduction The `explode()` method in the Python Pandas library is used to transform each element of a list-like object into a row. It replicates index values and returns a DataFrame with exploded lists as rows of the subset columns. It takes a column parameter that specifies the column to explode, and an optional ignore_index parameter that determines whether the resulting index should be labeled. ## 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.
