loc and iloc function in python code example

Example 1: loc and iloc in pandas

iloc - default indexes (system generated)
loc - table indexes or we manually given indexes

Example 2: loc and iloc in pandas

iloc slicing gives all the data upto the position that is passed as argument
loc gives all the data upto the label that is passed as argument
n = pd.Series([1,2,3,4],index = [0,1,2,3])
print("With iloc we got")
print(n.iloc[:2])
print("With loc we got")
print(n.loc[:2])

<Output>
With iloc we got
0    1
1    2
dtype: int64
With loc we got
0    1
1    2
2    3
dtype: int64

Example 3: how to use loc and iloc in pandas

>>> mydict = [{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4},
...           {'a': 100, 'b': 200, 'c': 300, 'd': 400},
...           {'a': 1000, 'b': 2000, 'c': 3000, 'd': 4000 }]
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(mydict)
>>> df
      a     b     c     d
0     1     2     3     4
1   100   200   300   400
2  1000  2000  3000  4000
