# Python Pandas - Check if an interval is empty if closed from the both sides

To check if an interval is empty if closed from both sides, use the interval.is_empty property. At first, import the required libraries −

import pandas as pd

Interval closed from the both sides. Interval set using the "closed" parameter with value "both"

interval = pd.Interval(0, 0, closed='both')

Display the interval

print("Interval...\n",interval)


Check whether interval is empty when it is closed from both sides. An Interval that contains a single point is not empty i.e. False is returned

print("\nIs Interval empty? \n",interval.is_empty)

## Example

Following is the code

import pandas as pd

# interval closed from the both sides
# Interval set using the "closed" parameter with value "both"
interval = pd.Interval(0, 0, closed='both')

# display the interval
print("Interval...\n",interval)

# display the interval length
print("\nInterval length...\n",interval.length)

# check whether interval is empty when it is closed from both sides
# An Interval that contains a single point is not empty i.e. False is returned
print("\nIs Interval empty? \n",interval.is_empty)

## Output

This will produce the following code

Interval...
[0, 0]

Interval length...
0

Is Interval empty?
False
