pandas.Index.slice_locs

Index.slice_locs(start=None, end=None, step=None)

Compute slice locations for input labels.

Parameters:

startlabel, default None

If None, defaults to the beginning.

endlabel, default None

If None, defaults to the end.

stepint, defaults None

If None, defaults to 1.

Returns:

tuple[int, int]

Index.get_loc

Get location for a single label.

Notes

This method only works if the index is monotonic or unique.

Examples

>>> idx = pd.Index(list("abcd"))
>>> idx.slice_locs(start="b", end="c")
(1, 3)

>>> idx = pd.Index(list("bcde"))
>>> idx.slice_locs(start="a", end="c")
(0, 2)
