Returning a dataframe in python function

Question

I am trying to create and return a data frame from a python function

def create_df():
    data = {\'state\': [\'Ohio\',\'Ohio\',\'Ohio\',\'Nevada\',\'Nevada\'],         


        

Answer 1

when you call create_df() python calls the function but doesn't save the result in any variable. that is why you got the error.

assign the result of create_df() to df like this df = create_df()
