Selecting specific rows from a DataFrame in Pandas can be useful in various situations. In general, selecting specific rows in Pandas allows you to focus on a specific subset of data, which can be useful for various data manipulation and analysis tasks. Here are a few examples of how selecting specific rows can be useful: 

  • Data cleaning and preprocessing. 
  • Data analysis. 
  • Data visualization. 
  • Data modeling. 
  • Data filtering. 


In Pandas, there are several ways to select specific rows from a DataFrame. Some of the most common methods include: 

  • .loc[]: This method allows you to select rows by their labels. For example, you can use it to select a specific row by its index label. 
  • .iloc[]: This method allows you to select rows by their integer position. For example, you can select the first row of a DataFrame. 
  • [] operator: This method allows you to select rows by their labels or positions. For example, you can select a specific row by its index label. 
  • Boolean indexing: This method allows you to select rows based on certain conditions. 


To know more about the selection of rows in Pandas, refer to the code below.

Code

In this solution we're using Pandas and NumPy libraries.

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install pandas and numpy on your IDE(Any of your favorite IDE).
  2. Copy the snippet using the 'copy' and paste it in your IDE.
  3. Add required dependencies and import them in Python file(import pandas & numpy).
  4. Run the file to generate the output.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for 'how to select row in pandas' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. The solution is created in PyCharm 2021.3.
  2. The solution is tested on Python 3.9.7.
  3. Pandas version-v1.5.2.
  4. NumPy version-v1.24.1.


Using this solution, we are able to implement selection of a row in pandas with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to implement selection of a row in pandas.
