Pandas Data Series: Compare the elements of the two Pandas Series

Last update on December 21 2024 07:42:44 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a Pandas program to compare the elements of the two Pandas Series.

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

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
ds1 = pd.Series([2, 4, 6, 8, 10])
ds2 = pd.Series([1, 3, 5, 7, 10])
print("Series1:")
print(ds1)
print("Series2:")
print(ds2)
print("Compare the elements of the said Series:")
print("Equals:")
print(ds1 == ds2)
print("Greater than:")
print(ds1 > ds2)
print("Less than:")
print(ds1 < ds2)

Sample Output:

Series1:

Explanation:

The above exercise demonstrates how to perform element-wise comparison operations between two Pandas Series objects using Python's comparison operators.

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, 10]

print(ds1 == ds2): This line compares the two Series objects using the '==' operator, resulting in a new Series object with boolean values indicating whether the corresponding elements in ‘ds1’ and ‘ds2’ are equal or not. The output will be: [False, False, False, False, True]

print(ds1 > ds2): This line compares the two Series objects using the '>' operator, resulting in a new Series object with boolean values indicating whether the corresponding elements in ‘ds1’ are greater than those in ‘ds2’ or not. The output will be: [True, True, True, True, False]

print(ds1 < ds2): This line compares the two Series objects using the '<' operator, resulting in a new Series object with boolean values indicating whether the corresponding elements in ‘ds1’ are less than those in ‘ds2’ or not. The output will be: [False, False, False, False, False]
