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 series is a One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels. The labels need not be unique but must be a hashable type. The object supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of methods for performing operations involving the index.
Pandas Series.ix attribute is a primarily label-location based indexer, with integer position fallback. It takes the label as input and returns the value corresponding to that label.
Syntax:Series.ix
Parameter : None
Returns : value
Example #1: Use Series.ix attribute to return a value lying at the specified label in the given Series object.
# importing pandas as pd import pandas as pd # Creating the Series sr = pd.Series(['New York', 'Chicago', 'Toronto', 'Lisbon']) # Creating the row axis labels sr.index = ['City 1', 'City 2', 'City 3', 'City 4'] # Print the series print(sr) |
Output :
Now we will use Series.ix attribute to return the value lying corresponding to the ‘City 4’ label.
# return the value sr.ix['City 4'] |
Output :
As we can see in the output, the Series.ix attribute has returned ‘Lisbon’ as the value corresponding to the ‘City 4’ label in the given Series object.
Example #2 : Use Series.ix attribute to return a value lying at the specified label in the given Series object.
# importing pandas as pd import pandas as pd # Creating the Series sr = pd.Series(['1/1/2018', '2/1/2018', '3/1/2018', '4/1/2018']) # Creating the row axis labels sr.index = ['Day 1', 'Day 2', 'Day 3', 'Day 4'] # Print the series print(sr) |
Output :
Now we will use Series.ix attribute to return the value lying corresponding to the ‘Day 3’ label.
# return the value sr.ix['Day 3'] |
Output :
As we can see in the output, the Series.ix attribute has returned ‘3/1/2018’ as the value corresponding to the ‘Day 3’ label in the given Series object.
