Python | Pandas Index.is_monotonic_decreasing

Pandas Index is an immutable ndarray implementing an ordered, sliceable set. It is the basic object which stores the axis labels for all pandas objects.

Pandas Index.is_monotonic_decreasing attribute return True if the underlying data in the given Index object is monotonically decreasing else it return False.

Syntax: Index.is_monotonic_decreasing

Parameter : None

Returns : boolean

Example #1: Use Index.is_monotonic_decreasing attribute to find out if the underlying data in the given Index object is monotonically decreasing or not.




# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
  
# Creating the index
idx = pd.Index([900, 700, 620, 388, 24])
  
# Print the index
print(idx)


Output :

Now we will use Index.is_monotonic_decreasing attribute to find out if the underlying data in the given Index object is monotonically decreasing or not.




# check if the values in the Index
# are monotonically decreasing 
result = idx.is_monotonic_decreasing
  
# Print the result
print(result)


Output :

As we can see in the output, the Index.is_monotonic_decreasing attribute has returned True indicating that the underlying data of the given Index object is monotonically decreasing.
 
Example #2 : Use Index.is_monotonic_decreasing attribute to find out if the underlying data in the given Index object is monotonically decreasing or not.




# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
  
# Creating the index
idx = pd.Index(['2012-12-12', None, '2002-1-10', None])
  
# Print the index
print(idx)


Output :

Now we will use Index.is_monotonic_decreasing attribute to find out if the underlying data in the given Index object is monotonically decreasing or not.




# check if the values in the Index
# are monotonically decreasing 
result = idx.is_monotonic_decreasing
  
# Print the result
print(result)


Output :

As we can see in the output, the Index.is_monotonic_decreasing attribute has returned False indicating that the underlying data of the given Index object is not monotonically decreasing.
