To view the first few rows of a dataset in Python, we can utilize the head() method. This function accepts an integer as its argument, which specifies the number of rows to display (by default, it shows first 5 rows). Let's take a look at the first 10 rows of our dataset:

If we want to see the last few rows of a dataframe, we can use the tail() method. It works similarly to the head() method:

Another useful function for exploring dataframes is sample(). This function fetches random records from a dataframe. By default, it retrieves a single random record unless specified otherwise.
