Python Pandas - Determine if two CategoricalIndex objects contain the same elements
To determine if two CategoricalIndex objects contain the same elements, use the equals() method. At first, import the required libraries −
import pandas as pd
Set the categories for the categorical using the "categories" parameter. Treat the categorical as ordered using the "ordered" parameter. Create two CategoricalIndex objects −
catIndex1 = pd.CategoricalIndex(["p", "q", "r", "s","p", "q", "r", "s"], ordered=True, categories=["p", "q", "r", "s"]) catIndex2 = pd.CategoricalIndex(["p", "q", "r", "s","p", "q", "r", "s"], ordered=True, categories=["p", "q", "r", "s"])
Check both the CategoricalIndex objects for equality −
print("\nCheck both the CategoricalIndex objects for equality...\n",catIndex1.equals(catIndex2))
Example
Following is the code −
import pandas as pd # Set the categories for the categorical using the "categories" parameter # Treat the categorical as ordered using the "ordered" parameter # Create two CategoricalIndex objects catIndex1 = pd.CategoricalIndex(["p", "q", "r", "s","p", "q", "r", "s"], ordered=True, categories=["p", "q", "r", "s"]) catIndex2 = pd.CategoricalIndex(["p", "q", "r", "s","p", "q", "r", "s"], ordered=True, categories=["p", "q", "r", "s"]) # Display the CategoricalIndex objects print("CategoricalIndex1...\n",catIndex1) print("\nCategoricalIndex2...\n",catIndex2) # Check both the CategoricalIndex objects for equality print("\nCheck both the CategoricalIndex objects for equality...\n",catIndex1.equals(catIndex2))
Output
This will produce the following output −
CategoricalIndex1... CategoricalIndex(['p', 'q', 'r', 's', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's'], categories=['p', 'q', 'r', 's'], ordered=True, dtype='category') CategoricalIndex2... CategoricalIndex(['p', 'q', 'r', 's', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's'], categories=['p', 'q', 'r', 's'], ordered=True, dtype='category') Check both the CategoricalIndex objects for equality... True
