Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric python packages. Pandas is one of those packages and makes importing and analyzing data much easier.
Pandas TimedeltaIndex.slice_locs() function compute the slice location for input labels and step for an ordered TimedeltaIndex object. The function assumes that the data is sorted.
Syntax : TimedeltaIndex.slice_locs(start=None, end=None, step=None, kind=None)
Parameters :
start : (label, default None) If None, defaults to the beginning
end : (label, default None) If None, defaults to the end
step : (int, defaults None) If None, defaults to 1
kind : {‘ix’, ‘loc’, ‘getitem’} or NoneReturn : start, end : int
Example #1: Use TimedeltaIndex.slice_locs() function to compute the slice location for the passed label in the given TimedeltaIndex object.
# importing pandas as pd import pandas as pd # Create the TimedeltaIndex object tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(start ='11 days 22:14:12.001124', periods = 5, freq ='T') # Print the TimedeltaIndex object print(tidx) |
Output :
Now we will use the TimedeltaIndex.slice_locs() function to find the slice location value for the passed labels.
# # find the slice location for the passed label tidx.slice_locs('11 days 22:15:20.001124') |
Output :
As we can see in the output, the TimedeltaIndex.slice_locs() function has returned the start position as well as the end position of the slice in the tidx object.
Example #2: Use TimedeltaIndex.slice_locs() function to compute the slice location for the passed label in the given TimedeltaIndex object.
# importing pandas as pd import pandas as pd # Create the TimedeltaIndex object tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(start ='03 days 09:22:56', periods = 5, freq ='H') # Print the TimedeltaIndex object print(tidx) |
Output :
Now we will use the TimedeltaIndex.slice_locs() function to find the slice location value for the passed labels.
# find the slice location for the passed label tidx.slice_locs('3 days 12:20:56') |
Output :
As we can see in the output, the TimedeltaIndex.slice_locs function has returned the start position as well as the end position of the slice in the tidx object.
