How to Print Information of Pandas DataFrame?

Print Information of a Pandas DataFrame

To print information of Pandas DataFrame, call DataFrame.info() method. The DataFrame.info() method returns nothing but just prints information about this DataFrame.

Syntax

The syntax to use info() method of a DataFrame is

DataFrame.info(verbose=None, buf=None, max_cols=None, memory_usage=None, show_counts=None, null_counts=None)

Examples

1. Print DataFrame information

In the following program, we have created a DataFrame. We shall print this DataFrame’s information using DataFrame.info() method.

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
    [['abc', 22],
    ['xyz', 25],
    ['pqr', 31]],
    columns=['name', 'age'])

df.info()

Output

<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
RangeIndex: 3 entries, 0 to 2
Data columns (total 2 columns):
name    3 non-null object
age     3 non-null int64
dtypes: int64(1), object(1)
memory usage: 128.0+ bytes

If we observe, info() method printed the type of this object, range, columns, number of entries in each columns, if the columns are non-null, datatype of columns, and memory usage of this DataFrame.

Summary

In this tutorial of Python Examples, we learned how to print the information of a DataFrame using DataFrame.info() method.
