How it works...

You may access the three main components of a DataFrame with the index, columns, and values attributes. The output of the columns attribute appears to be just a sequence of the column names. This sequence of column names is technically an Index object. The output of the function type is the fully qualified class name of the object.

The fully qualified class name of the object for the variable columns is pandas.core.indexes.base.Index. It begins with the package name, which is followed by a path of modules and ends with the name of the type. A common way of referring to objects is to include the package name followed by the name of the object type. In this instance, we would refer to the columns as a pandas Index object.
