The dataframes in Python can be combined in the following ways-
1. Concatenating them by stacking the 2 dataframes vertically.
2. Concatenating them by stacking the 2 dataframes horizontally.
3. Combining them on a common column. This is referred to as joining.
The concat() function is used to concatenate two dataframes. Its syntax is- pd.concat([dataframe1, dataframe2]).
Dataframes are joined together on a common column called a key. When we combine all the rows in dataframe it is a union and the join used is outer join. While, when we combine the common rows or intersection, the join used is the inner join. Its syntax is- pd.concat([dataframe1, dataframe2], axis=’axis’, join=’type_of_join)
