Python - Check if the Pandas Index is a floating type


To check if the Pandas Index is a floating type, use the index.is_floating() method in Pandas. At first, import the required libraries -

import pandas as pd

Creating Pandas index −

index = pd.Index([5.7, 6.8, 10.5, 20.4, 25.6, 30.8, 40.5, 50.2])

Display the Pandas index −

print("Pandas Index...\n",index)

Check whether index values have only floats −

print("\nIndex values only consists of floats?\n",index.is_floating())

Example

Following is the code −

import pandas as pd

# Creating Pandas index
index = pd.Index([5.7, 6.8, 10.5, 20.4, 25.6, 30.8, 40.5, 50.2])

# Display the Pandas index
print("Pandas Index...\n",index)

# Return the number of elements in the Index
print("\nNumber of elements in the index...\n",index.size)

# Return the dtype of the data
print("\nThe dtype object...\n",index.dtype)

# check whether index values has only floats
print("\nIndex values only consists of floats?\n",index.is_floating())

Output

This will produce the following output −

Pandas Index...
Float64Index([5.7, 6.8, 10.5, 20.4, 25.6, 30.8, 40.5, 50.2], dtype='float64')

Number of elements in the index...
8

The dtype object...
float64

Index values only consists of floats?
True
