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.valid()
function return the same Series object but without the null values.
Syntax: Series.valid(inplace=False, **kwargs)
Parameter :
inplace: boolean
Returns : Series
Example #1: Use
Series.valid()
function to remove the null values from the given Series object.
Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
# Creating the Series
sr = pd.Series(['New York', 'Chicago', None, 'Toronto', 'Lisbon', 'Rio', 'Chicago', 'Lisbon'])
# Print the series
print(sr)
Output :

Now we will use
Series.valid()
function to remove the null values from the given series object.
Python3 1==
# return valid values
sr.valid()
Output :

As we can see in the output, the
Series.valid()
function has returned a Series object containing all the valid value of the original series object on which it was called.
Example #2: Use
Series.valid()
function to remove the null values from the given Series object.
Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
# Creating the Series
sr = pd.Series([100, 214, 325, 88, None, 325, None, 325, 100])
# Print the series
print(sr)
Output :

Now we will use
Series.valid()
function to remove the null values from the given series object.
Python3 1==
# return valid values
sr.valid()
Output :

As we can see in the output, the
Series.valid()
function has returned a Series object containing all the valid value of the original series object on which it was called.
