# pandas.arrays.BooleanArray

class pandas.arrays.BooleanArray(values, mask, copy=False)

  Array of boolean (True/False) data with missing values.

  This is a pandas Extension array for boolean data, under the hood represented by 2 numpy arrays: a boolean array with the data and a boolean array with the mask (True indicating missing).

  BooleanArray implements Kleene logic (sometimes called three-value logic) for logical operations. See Kleene logical operations for more.

  To construct an BooleanArray from generic array-like input, use `pandas.array()` specifying `dtype="boolean"` (see examples below).

  Warning

  BooleanArray is considered experimental. The implementation and parts of the API may change without warning.

  Parameters:
    valuesnumpy.ndarray

      A 1-d boolean-dtype array with the data.

    masknumpy.ndarray

      A 1-d boolean-dtype array indicating missing values (True indicates missing).

    copybool, default False

      Whether to copy the values and mask arrays.

  Examples

  Create an BooleanArray with `pandas.array()`:

      <BooleanArray>
      [True, False, <NA>]
      Length: 3, dtype: boolean
