df.iloc[:,:-1].values means code example

Example 1: what is .iloc[:, 1:2].values

>>> mydict = [{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4},
...           {'a': 100, 'b': 200, 'c': 300, 'd': 400},
...           {'a': 1000, 'b': 2000, 'c': 3000, 'd': 4000 }]
>>> df = pd.DataFrame(mydict)
>>> df
      a     b     c     d
0     1     2     3     4
1   100   200   300   400
2  1000  2000  3000  4000

Example 2: what is .iloc[:, 1:2].values

>>> type(df.iloc[0])
<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>
>>> df.iloc[0]
a    1
b    2
c    3
d    4
