pandas equals two dataframes not working code example

Example 1: dataframe equals pandas

>>> exactly_equal = pd.DataFrame({1: [10], 2: [20]})
>>> exactly_equal
    1   2
0  10  20
>>> df.equals(exactly_equal)
True

Example 2: pandas two dataframes equal

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({1: [10], 2: [20]})

>>> exactly_equal = pd.DataFrame({1: [10], 2: [20]}) # Note the same as above

>>> df.equals(exactly_equal)
True
# Two are the same hence true. If not would be false
