What is difference between inplace True and inplace False

Question

I want to know what is being returned as well as how the object is handled when "inplace=True" is passed vs. when "inplace=False".

Answer 1

Hi,

Both inplace= true and inplace = False are used to do some operation on the data but:

When inplace = True is used, it performs operation on data and nothing is returned.

df.some_operation(inplace=True)

When inplace=False is used, it performs operation on data and returns a new copy of data.

df = df.an_operation(inplace=False)
