Attributes Description

Series.index Defines the index of the Series.

Series.shape It returns a tuple of shape of the data.

Series.dtype It returns the data type of the data.

Series.size It returns the size of the data.

Series.empty It returns True if Series object is empty, otherwise returns false.

Series.hasnans It returns True if there are any NaN values, otherwise returns false.

Series.nbytes It returns the number of bytes in the data.

Series.ndim It returns the number of dimensions in the data.

Series.itemsize It returns the size of the datatype of item.

Retrieving Index array and data array of a series object


We can retrieve the index array and data array of an existing Series object by using the
attributes index and values.

1. import numpy as np
2. import pandas as pd
3. x=pd.Series(data=[2,4,6,8])
4. y=pd.Series(data=[11.2,18.6,22.5], index=['a','b','c'])
5. print(x.index)
6. print(x.values)
7. print(y.index)
8. print(y.values)

Output

RangeIndex(start=0, stop=4, step=1)


[2 4 6 8]
Index(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype='object')
[11.2 18.6 22.5]
Retrieving Types (dtype) and Size of Type (itemsize)
You can use attribute dtype with Series object as <objectname> dtype for retrieving the
data type of an individual element of a series object, you can use the itemsize attribute
to show the number of bytes allocated to each data item.

1. import numpy as np
2. import pandas as pd
3. a=pd.Series(data=[1,2,3,4])
4. b=pd.Series(data=[4.9,8.2,5.6],
5. index=['x','y','z'])
6. print(a.dtype)
7. print(a.itemsize)
8. print(b.dtype)
9. print(b.itemsize)

Output

int64
8
float64
8

Retrieving Shape
The shape of the Series object defines total number of elements including missing or
empty values(NaN).

1. import numpy as np
2. import pandas as pd
3. a=pd.Series(data=[1,2,3,4])
4. b=pd.Series(data=[4.9,8.2,5.6],index=['x','y','z'])
5. print(a.shape)
6. print(b.shape)
Output

(4,)
(3,)

Retrieving Dimension, Size and Number of bytes:

1. import numpy as np
2. import pandas as pd
3. a=pd.Series(data=[1,2,3,4])
4. b=pd.Series(data=[4.9,8.2,5.6],
5. index=['x','y','z'])
6. print(a.ndim, b.ndim)
7. print(a.size, b.size)
8. print(a.nbytes, b.nbytes)

Output

1 1
4 3
32 24

Checking Emptiness and Presence of NaNs


To check the Series object is empty, you can use the empty attribute. Similarly, to
check if a series object contains some NaN values or not, you can use
the hasans attribute.

Example

1. import numpy as np
2. import pandas as pd
3. a=pd.Series(data=[1,2,3,np.NaN])
4. b=pd.Series(data=[4.9,8.2,5.6],index=['x','y','z'])
5. c=pd.Series()
6. print(a.empty,b.empty,c.empty)
7. print(a.hasnans,b.hasnans,c.hasnans)
8. print(len(a),len(b))
9. print(a.count( ),b.count( ))

Output

False False True


True False False
4 3
3 3
