Summary  
Demonstrates how to retrieve and printing subsets of rows from a DataFrame using head(), tail(), and sample() methods.

General domain of usage  
Exploratory data analysis

To view the first few rows of a dataset, use the `head()` method. This method accepts an **integer** argument that specifies how many rows to display (by default, it shows the **first 5 rows**). Display the first 10 rows of the dataset:

```python
df = pd.read_csv('file.csv')
# Extracting the first 10 rows
first_lines = df.head(10)
```

To see the **last few rows** of a `DataFrame`, use the `tail()` method. It works the same way as the `head()` method:

```python
df = pd.read_csv('file.csv')
# Extracting the last 10 rows
last_lines = df.tail(10)
```

Another useful method for exploring DataFrames is `sample()`. This method fetches random records from a DataFrame. By default, it retrieves a **single random record** unless specified otherwise.
```python
df = pd.read_csv('file.csv')
# Extracting 10 random rows
random_lines = df.sample(10)
```
