Python - Return the minimum value of the Pandas Index

To return the minimum value of the Pandas Index, use the index.min() method. At first, import the required libraries -

import pandas as pd

Creating Pandas index −

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

Display the Pandas index −

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

Get the minimum value −

print("\nMinimum value..\n", index.min())

Example

Following is the code −

import pandas as pd

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

# get the minimum value
print("\nMinimum value..\n", index.min())

Output

This will produce the following output −

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

Number of elements in the index...
8

The dtype object...
float64

Minimum value..
5.7
