pandas Indexing and selecting data Get the first/last n rows of a dataframe
Example
To view the first or last few records of a dataframe, you can use the methods head and tail
To return the first n rows use DataFrame.head([n])
df.head(n)
To return the last n rows use DataFrame.tail([n])
df.tail(n)
Without the argument n, these functions return 5 rows.
Note that the slice notation for head/tail would be:
df[:10] # same as df.head(10)
df[-10:] # same as df.tail(10)
