Examining and selecting data from DataFrames
Once you’ve loaded, manipulated, and transformed data in DataFrames, the next step is retrieving the data from DataFrames. This is where indexing and selecting data come into play. This functionality allows you to access data using methods such as iloc and loc and techniques such as Boolean indexing or query functions. These methods can target data based on its position, labels, or condition based on whether you’re after a specific row, column, or combination.
