Viewing Rows of Data

If you ever used a Terminal (Or Command Prompt, Console) on a Unix Machine, you would be familiar with the head and tail Property.

Head

# Modules
import pandas

# Expressions
df = pandas.read_csv(Location of File, sep="xxx")
anfang = df.head()

# Statements
print(anfang)

Tail

# Modules
import pandas

# Expressions
df = pandas.read_csv(Location of File, sep="xxx")
ende = df.tail()

# Statements
print(ende)

In both of the above Examples, if you do not pass a Parameter (Number of rows), Output will either be the First or Last Five Rows by default. Contrary to the above, replace Value xxx with proper Delimiter. If the Delimiter is a Comma, you needn't worry about passing a Value to sep since the Character is default Delimiter to Pandas.

Also, you can just use print(df) Statement but it won't display all the Data if the File has many Rows of Data.
