You can also use **negative indexing** to access rows in the DataFrame. Negative indexing starts from the end of the DataFrame: index `-1` points to the last row, `-2` to the second to last, and so on.

To access the seventh row (which refers to Latvia), you can use either index **6** or **-1**.

import pandas

countries_data = {'country' : ['Thailand', 'Philippines', 'Monaco', 'Malta', 'Sweden', 'Paraguay', 'Latvia'], 'continent' : ['Asia', 'Asia', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'Europe', 'South America', 'Europe'], 'capital':['Bangkok', 'Manila', 'Monaco', 'Valletta', 'Stockholm', 'Asuncion', 'Riga']}
countries = pandas.DataFrame(countries_data)
# Accessing to the seventh row using negative indexing
print(countries.iloc[-1])

Running the above code will return the row highlighted in the image below:

Pandas is an extremely user-friendly library for data analysis. It's also designed to handle large datasets, using data structures like DataFrame and Series. This makes it an invaluable tool for Data Science. In this guide, you'll get acquainted with a range of statistical functions, including how to find correlations, modes, medians, and maximum and minimum values within a dataset. You'll also learn how to handle missing values and manipulate specific values, as well as how to remove them.

Dive into the fundamentals of the pandas library. Learn to create and manipulate Series and DataFrames, explore their structure, and build confidence in performing essential data operations.

Master how to load and manage data from CSV and TXT files. Gain practical experience importing datasets and preparing them for further analysis using pandas tools.

Learn to explore, clean, and summarize data effectively. Understand how to handle missing values, extract insights, and perform basic statistical operations with pandas.
