pandas.DataFrame.tail¶
- DataFrame.tail(n=5)[source]¶
Return the last n rows.
This function returns last n rows from the object based on position. It is useful for quickly verifying data, for example, after sorting or appending rows.
For negative values of n, this function returns all rows except the first |n| rows, equivalent to
df[|n|:].If n is larger than the number of rows, this function returns all rows.
- Parameters:
- nint, default 5
Number of rows to select.
- Returns:
- type of caller
The last n rows of the caller object.
See also
DataFrame.headThe first n rows of the caller object.
Examples
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'animal': ['alligator', 'bee', 'falcon', 'lion', ... 'monkey', 'parrot', 'shark', 'whale', 'zebra']}) >>> df animal 0 alligator 1 bee 2 falcon 3 lion 4 monkey 5 parrot 6 shark 7 whale 8 zebra
Viewing the last 5 lines
>>> df.tail() animal 4 monkey 5 parrot 6 shark 7 whale 8 zebra
Viewing the last n lines (three in this case)
>>> df.tail(3) animal 6 shark 7 whale 8 zebra
For negative values of n
>>> df.tail(-3) animal 3 lion 4 monkey 5 parrot 6 shark 7 whale 8 zebra
