This approach focuses on manipulating the data structures that hold the DataFrame or its equivalent to rename the columns. The idea is to access the data structure directly and modify the column headers.
Time Complexity: O(1) as renaming columns in a DataFrame does not depend on the number of rows.
Space Complexity: O(1), no additional space required beyond the rename operation.

In JavaScript, an array of objects can represent the data. Using array map combined with object destructuring, we can easily transform and rename the column keys in each object.
This approach relies on using specific libraries available for each programming language that are geared towards data manipulation. These libraries often offer built-in functionalities for renaming columns effortlessly.
Time Complexity: O(1) since column renaming is independent of the data in the table.
Space Complexity: O(1) because it modifies column names in-place.
