The index (row labels) of the DataFrame.

The index of a DataFrame is a series of labels that identify each row.
The labels can be integers, strings, or any other hashable type. The index
is used for label-based access and alignment, and can be accessed or
modified using this attribute.

Returns
-------
pandas.Index
The index labels of the DataFrame.

See Also
--------
DataFrame.columns : The column labels of the DataFrame.
DataFrame.values : Return a Numpy representation of the DataFrame.

Please don't add this, we generally recommend to_numpy instead of values


Examples
--------
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Aritra'],
... 'Age': [25, 30, 35],
... 'Location': ['Seattle', 'New York', 'Kona']},
... index=([10, 20, 30]))
>>> df.index
Index([10, 20, 30], dtype='int64')

In this example, we create a DataFrame with 3 rows and 3 columns,
including Name, Age, and Location information. We set the index labels to
be the integers 10, 20, and 30. We then access the `index` attribute of the
DataFrame, which returns an `Int64Index` object containing the index labels.

Int64Index was removed in 2.0, this is a regular Index now


>>> df.index = [100, 200, 300]
>>> df
Name Age Location
100 Alice 25 Seattle
200 Bob 30 New York
300 Aritra 35 Kona

In this example, we modify the index labels of the DataFrame by assigning
a new list of labels to the `index` attribute. The DataFrame is then
reindexed with the new labels, and the output shows the modified DataFrame.

reindexed is confusing, rather use update
