How to Combine Two Lists into a DataFrame with Pandas in Python

In the world of data analysis, the ability to manipulate and structure data efficiently is essential. One common task you might encounter is combining two separate lists into a DataFrame, where one list serves as columns and the other contains the corresponding values. This guide will guide you through this process using Python's powerful Pandas library. Let's dive in!

The Problem

Imagine you have two lists:

Values: ['98', '42']

Columns: ['PREC', 'TEMP']

You want to create a DataFrame that looks like this:
