Pandas Data Series: Add, subtract, multiple and divide two Pandas Series

Pandas: Data Series Exercise-3 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to add, subtract, multiple and divide two Pandas Series.

Sample Series: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10], [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
ds1 = pd.Series([2, 4, 6, 8, 10])
ds2 = pd.Series([1, 3, 5, 7, 9])
ds = ds1 + ds2
print("Add two Series:")
print(ds)
print("Subtract two Series:")
ds = ds1 - ds2
print(ds)
print("Multiply two Series:")
ds = ds1 * ds2
print(ds)
print("Divide Series1 by Series2:")
ds = ds1 / ds2
print(ds)

Sample Output:

Explanation:

Following code creates two Pandas Series objects named 'ds1' and 'ds2' containing a sequence of five integers each:

ds1 = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
ds2 = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

• ds = ds1 + ds2: This line adds the two Series objects element-wise, resulting in a new Series object 'ds' with the values [3, 7, 11, 15, 19].
• ds = ds1 - ds2: This line subtracts the second Series object from the first Series object element-wise, resulting in a new Series object 'ds' with the values [1, 1, 1, 1, 1].
• ds = ds1 * ds2: This line multiplies the two Series objects element-wise, resulting in a new Series object 'ds' with the values [2, 12, 30, 56, 90].
• ds = ds1 / ds2: This line divides the first Series object by the second Series object element-wise, resulting in a new Series object 'ds' with the values [2.0, 1.333, 1.2, 1.143, 1.111].
