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])
