Always provide a code snippet on what you have already tried. At least a pseudo code.

Anyway, Give this a shot:

df['col3'] = df.apply(lambda row: True if row['col1'] == row['col2'] else False, axis=1)

CodePudding user response：

Your question needs some clarification as suggested by @yeaske but I feel the following code logic maybe more correct as per your input and output.

df['result'] = df.apply(lambda row: row['col2'].lower().startswith(row['col1'].lower()), axis=1)
