During today's session, we will delve into how to add and remove rows from a DataFrame in Pandas. These are vital tools for data manipulation, whether adding new entries or eliminating unnecessary data.
Consider it analogous to adding a name to your contacts or deleting an item from your shopping list. We will be carrying out similar operations but with a DataFrame. Let's begin:
