To return the int position of the smallest value in the Index, use the index.argmin() method.
At first, import the required libraries −
import pandas as pd
Creating the index −
index = pd.Index([15, 25, 55, 10, 100, 70, 35, 40, 55])
Display the index −
print("Pandas Index...\n",index)
Get the int position of the smallest value in the Index −
print("\nGet the int position of the smallest value in the Index...\n",index.argmin())
Example
Following is the code −
import pandas as pd # Creating the index index = pd.Index([15, 25, 55, 10, 100, 70, 35, 40, 55]) # Display the index print("Pandas Index...\n",index) # Return a tuple of the shape of the underlying data print("\nA tuple of the shape of underlying data...\n",index.shape) # Return the number of elements in the Index print("\nNumber of elements in the index...\n",index.size) # The int position of the smallest value in the Index print("\nGet the int position of the smallest value in the Index...\n",index.argmin())
Output
This will produce the following code −
Pandas Index... Int64Index([15, 25, 55, 10, 100, 70, 35, 40, 55], dtype='int64') A tuple of the shape of underlying data... (9,) Number of elements in the index... 9 Get the int position of the smallest value in the Index... 3
