iloc and loc difference code example

Example 1: whats the difference iloc and loc

- The .iloc indexer selects only by integer location and works 
similarly to Python lists.

- The .loc indexer selects only by index label, which is 
similar to how Python dictionaries work.

Example 2: iloc and loc

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

Example 3: 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
