Pandas Data Series: Convert a Panda module Series to Python list and it’s type

Pandas: Data Series Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to convert a Panda module Series to Python list and it’s type.

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
ds = pd.Series([2, 4, 6, 8, 10])
print("Pandas Series and type")
print(ds)
print(type(ds))
print("Convert Pandas Series to Python list")
print(ds.tolist())
print(type(ds.tolist()))

Sample Output:

Pandas Series and type                                                 
0     2                                                                
1     4                                                                
2     6                                                                
3     8                                                                
4    10                                                                
dtype: int64                                                           
<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>                                    
Convert Pandas Series to Python list                                   
[2, 4, 6, 8, 10]                                                       
<class 'list'>                                                      

Explanation:

ds = pd.Series([2, 4, 6, 8, 10]): This code creates a Pandas Series object named 'ds' containing a sequence of five integers: 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10.

print(type(ds)): This statement prints the type of the 'ds' object using the type() function, which will be <class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>. This confirms that the object is indeed a Pandas Series.

print(ds.tolist()): This statement prints the contents of the Series object as a Python list using the tolist() method.

print(type(ds.tolist())): Finally print() function prints the type of the resulting list object using the type() function, which will be <class 'list'>.
