Pandas print the first few rows of dataframe

Question

How can I print only the first few rows of the dataframe. I have a dataframe that has over a thousand rows. The data is of people and their score. The dataframe is sorted in descending order of the score. I want to display the details of people with the top 10 score. So, how can I display only the first 10 rows?

Answer 1

Pandas allows you to slice the dataframe similar to how python allows you to slice the string. Suppose the name of the dataframe is df, then to print the first 10 rows, you can use the below code:

print(df[0:3])
