Python | Pandas TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound

Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric python packages. Pandas is one of those packages and makes importing and analyzing data much easier. Pandas TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound() function calculate slice bound that corresponds to given label. The function return leftmost (one-past-the-rightmost if side=='right') position of given label.

Syntax : TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound(label, side, kind) Parameters : label : object side : {‘left’, ‘right’} kind : {‘ix’, ‘loc’, ‘getitem’} Return : int

Example #1: Use TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound() function to find the left slice bound of a value in the given TimedeltaIndex object. Python3

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the TimedeltaIndex object
tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(data =['3 days 06:05:01.000030', '1 days 06:05:01.000030',
                                '3 days 06:05:01.000030', '1 days 02:00:00',
                                                 '21 days 06:15:01.000030'])

# Print the TimedeltaIndex object
print(tidx)

Output : Now we will use the TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound() function to find the left slice bound of '1 days 02:00:00'. Python3

# find the left slice bound for passed value
tidx.get_slice_bound('1 days 02:00:00', side ='left', kind ='loc')

Output : As we can see in the output, the TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound() function has returned 3 as the slice bound for the passed value in the given TimedeltaIndex object.   Example #2: Use TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound() function to find the left slice bound of a value in the given TimedeltaIndex object. Python3

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the TimedeltaIndex object
tidx = pd.TimedeltaIndex(data =['06:05:01.000030', '3 days 06:05:01.000030', 
                                '22 day 2 min 3us 10ns', '+23:59:59.999999',
                             '13 days 06:05:01.000030', '+12:19:59.999999'])

# Print the TimedeltaIndex object
print(tidx)

Output : Now we will use the TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound() function to find the left slice bound of '13 days 06:05:01.000030'. Python3

# find the left slice bound for passed value
tidx.get_slice_bound('13 days 06:05:01.000030', side ='left', kind ='loc')

Output : As we can see in the output, the TimedeltaIndex.get_slice_bound() function has returned 4 as the slice bound for the passed value in the given TimedeltaIndex object.
