# pandas.Index.identical

final Index.identical(other)

  Similar to equals, but checks that object attributes and types are also equal.

  While `Index.equals()` only checks that the elements are the same, this method additionally verifies that the Index objects have matching types and attributes (e.g., `name`).

  Parameters:
    other Index

      The Index object you want to compare with the current Index object.

  Returns:
    bool

      If two Index objects have equal elements and same type True, otherwise False.

    Return if the index has unique values.

  Examples

      >>> idx1 = pd.Index(["1", "2", "3"])
      >>> idx2 = pd.Index(["1", "2", "3"])
      >>> idx2.identical(idx1)
      True

      >>> idx1 = pd.Index(["1", "2", "3"], name="A")
      >>> idx2 = pd.Index(["1", "2", "3"], name="B")
      >>> idx2.identical(idx1)
      False
