Question

1,FALSE,0,         


        

Answer 1

To clarify one point in @EdChum's answer, per the documentation, you can include the object columns by using df.describe(include='all'). It won't provide many statistics, but will provide a few pieces of info, including count, number of unique values, top value. This may be a new feature, I don't know as I am a relatively new user.
