Python:Pandas .tail()

In Pandas, .tail() is a method that returns the last n rows of a DataFrame. By default, it returns the last 5 rows, but the number of rows can be adjusted by passing an integer argument to the method.

Syntax

df.tail(n=5)

• df: The Pandas DataFrame on which the method is called.
• n: The number of rows to return from the end of the DataFrame.

Example

The example below demonstrates the use of the .tail() method:

import pandas as pd

# Create a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 'B': [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]})

# Get the last 3 rows of the DataFrame
last_three_rows = df.tail(3)

# Print the last 3 rows
print(last_three_rows)
