14. Display DataFrame in Table Style with Outer Border

Create a dataframe of ten rows, four columns with random values. Write a Pandas program to display the dataframe in table style and border around the table and not around the rows.

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(24)
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': np.linspace(1, 10, 10)})
df = pd.concat([df, pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(10, 4), columns=list('BCDE'))],
               axis=1)
df.iloc[0, 2] = np.nan
df.iloc[3, 3] = np.nan
df.iloc[4, 1] = np.nan
df.iloc[9, 4] = np.nan
print("Original array:")
print(df)
print("\nDataframe - table style and border around the table and not around the rows:")
df.style.set_table_styles([{'selector':'','props':[('border','4px solid #7a7')]}])

Original array:

Original array:
      A         B         C         D         E
