Comparing two Pandas series and printing the the difference
In this program, we will compare two Pandas series and will print the differences in the series. By difference, we mean that the index positions at which the elements did not match.
Algorithm
Step 1: Define two Pandas series, s1 and s2.
Step 2: Compare the series using compare() function in the Pandas series.
Step 3: Print their difference.
Example Code
import pandas as pd
s1 = pd.Series([10,20,30,40,50,60])
s2 = pd.Series([10,30,30,40,55,60])
print("S1:\n", s1)
print("\nS2:\n", s2)
difference = s1.compare(s2)
print("\nDifference between the series: \n",difference)Output
S1:
0 10
1 20
2 30
3 40
4 50
5 60
dtype: int64
S2:
0 10
1 30
2 30
3 40
4 55
5 60
dtype: int64
Difference between the series:
self other
1 20.0 30.0
4 50.0 55.0
Explanation
In the above output, there are two columns in the difference output. One is 'self' and beside it is 'other'. The self refers to s1 series whereas the 'other' refers to s2 series.
