Returning a dataframe in python function

Question

I am trying to create and return a data frame from a python function

def create_df():
    data = {\'state\': [\'Ohio\',\'Ohio\',\'Ohio\',\'Nevada\',\'Nevada\'],         


        

Answer 1

You can return dataframe from a function by making a copy of the dataframe like

def my_function(dataframe):
  my_df=dataframe.copy()
  my_df=my_df.drop(0)
  return(my_df)

new_df=my_function(old_df)
print(type(new_df))

Output: pandas.core.frame.DataFrame
