rp_first_k_rows: Extract the first k rows of a data frame

In rPandas: Translating from R to Python's Pandas Package

Extract the first k rows of a data frame

Description

This function returns the first k rows of the data frame. If grouping variables are provided via .by, it returns the first k rows within each group.

Usage

rp_first_k_rows(.data, k, .by = NULL, table_name = NULL, return.as = "result")

Arguments

.data	An R data frame (or tibble) to be processed.
k	An integer specifying the number of rows to return. If .by is used, returns up to k rows per group.
.by	Optional grouping variables. Can be one or more unquoted column names. When provided, the operation is performed on each group separately.
table_name	An optional character string. If provided, the generated Python code will replace the internal dataframe name with this string (e.g., "diamonds.query(...)"). This is useful for seeing the exact, copy-pasteable Python code. Defaults to NULL (uses "df").
return.as	One of "result", "code", or "all".

Value

Depending on return.as: a data frame, a character string, or a list.
