converting str to int

I have a text file and trying to process it. at the end I have to convert one of the variables from str to int. if I print the variable using this command:

print(y_test.iloc[:,1])

I would get the following results:

0     B
1     B
2     A
3     A
4     A
5     A
6     A
7     A
8     B
9     B
10    B
11    B
12    B
13    B
Name: group, dtype: object

and if I get the type of this variable:

print(type(y_test.iloc[:,1]))

I would get this output:

<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

but my expected output is this (A to 0 and B to 1):

0     0
1     0
2     1
3     1
4     1
5     1
6     1
7     1
8     0
9     0
10    0
11    0
12    0
13    0

to do so, I tried the following code:

y2 = int(y_test.iloc[:,1])

but did not return what I want. do you know how to do that?

You can use the method replace():

y_test.iloc[:, 1].replace({'B': 0, 'A': 1})

To get A as 1 and B (or anything else) as 0 you can use the below. It converts all A's to True, which are then converted to the integer value of True, which is 1.

(y_test.iloc[:,1] == 'A').astype(int)
