Difference between data frame and variable in Python
Hi,
Which is the difference between defining a variable and a dataframe in Python? is it just the shape (since df will include an index)?
when w should opt for a data frame rather than a variable? and viceversa

Hi Marta!
Thanks for reaching out.
А variable can contain a DataFrame.
A variable is a placeholder/container for data values.
Then, you can assign many types of objects to a certain variable.
One type of object that you can assign to (and, thus, store in) a variable, is a pandas DataFrame.
Other objects that you can store in variables are pandas Series, lists, tuples, integers, string values and many others.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Martin
