Series()

class pandas.Series(data=None, index=None, dtype=None, name=None, copy=False, fastpath=False) [source]

One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels (including time series).

Labels need not be unique but must be any hashable type. The object supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of methods for performing operations involving the index. Statistical methods from ndarray have been overridden to automatically exclude missing data (currently represented as NaN)

Operations between Series (+, -, /, , *) align values based on their associated index values? they need not be the same length. The result index will be the sorted union of the two indexes.

Parameters:

data : array-like, dict, or scalar value

Contains data stored in Series

index : array-like or Index (1d)

Values must be unique and hashable, same length as data. Index object (or other iterable of same length as data) Will default to RangeIndex(len(data)) if not provided. If both a dict and index sequence are used, the index will override the keys found in the dict.

dtype : numpy.dtype or None

If None, dtype will be inferred

copy : boolean, default False

Copy input data
