# Inspect a DataFrame

When we load a new DataFrame from a CSV, we want to know what it looks like.

If it’s a small DataFrame, you can display it by typing `print(df)`.

If it’s a larger DataFrame, it’s helpful to be able to inspect a few items without having to look at the entire DataFrame. The method `.head()` gives the first 5 rows of a DataFrame. If you want to see more rows, you can pass in the positional argument `n`. For example, `df.head(10)` would show the first 10 rows.

The method **`df.info()`** gives some statistics for each column.
