.loc and .iloc in python 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: 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
dtype: int64
