Examples

Constructing DataFrame from a dictionary:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame(
...     {
...         "Person": ["John", "Myla", "Lewis", "John", "Myla"],
...         "Age": [24.0, np.nan, 21.0, 33, 26],
...         "Single": [False, True, True, True, False],
...     }
... )
>>> df
   Person   Age  Single
0    John  24.0   False
1    Myla   NaN    True
2   Lewis  21.0    True
3    John  33.0    True
4    Myla  26.0   False

Notice the uncounted NA values:

>>> df.count()
Person    5
Age       4
Single    5
dtype: int64

Counts for each row:

>>> df.count(axis="columns")
0    3
1    2
2    3
3    3
4    3
dtype: int64
