Series and DataFrames use the equals operator, ==, to make element-by-element comparisons that return an object of the same size. This recipe shows you how to use the equals operator, which is very different from the equals method.

As in the previous recipe, the columns representing the fraction of each race of undergraduate students from the college dataset will be used:

>>> college = pd.read_csv('data/college.csv', index_col='INSTNM')
>>> college_ugds_ = college.filter(like='UGDS_')
