Pandas series is a One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels. The labels need not be unique but must be a hashable type. The object supports both integer and label-based indexing and provides a host of methods for performing operations involving the index.
Pandas
Series.isnull()
function detect missing values in the given series object. It return a boolean same-sized object indicating if the values are NA. Missing values gets mapped to
True
and non-missing value gets mapped to
False
.
Syntax: Series.isnull()
Parameter : None
Returns : boolean
Example #1: Use
Series.isnull()
function to detect missing values in the given series object.
Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
# Creating the Series
sr = pd.Series([10, 25, 3, 25, 24, 6])
# Create the Index
index_ = ['Coca Cola', 'Sprite', 'Coke', 'Fanta', 'Dew', 'ThumbsUp']
# set the index
sr.index = index_
# Print the series
print(sr)
Output :

Now we will use
Series.isnull()
function to detect all the missing values in the given series object.
Python3 1==
# detect missing values
result = sr.isnull()
# Print the result
print(result)
Output :

As we can see in the output, the
Series.isnull()
function has returned an object containing boolean values. All values have been mapped to
False
because there is no missing value in the given series object.
Example #2 : Use
Series.isnull()
function to detect missing values in the given series object.
Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
# Creating the Series
sr = pd.Series([11, 21, 8, 18, 65, None, 32, 10, 5, 24, None])
# Create the Index
index_ = pd.date_range('2010-10-09', periods = 11, freq ='M')
# set the index
sr.index = index_
# Print the series
print(sr)
Output :

Now we will use
Series.isnull()
function to detect all the missing values in the given series object.
Python3 1==
# detect missing values
result = sr.isnull()
# Print the result
print(result)
Output :

As we can see in the output, the
Series.isnull()
function has returned an object containing boolean values. All missing values have been mapped to
True
.
