# pandas.RangeIndex.step

property RangeIndex.step

  The value of the step parameter (`1` if this was not supplied).

  The `step` parameter determines the increment (or decrement in the case of negative values) between consecutive elements in the `RangeIndex`.

  See also

  `RangeIndex`

    Immutable index implementing a range-based index.

  `RangeIndex.stop`

    Returns the stop value of the RangeIndex.

  `RangeIndex.start`

    Returns the start value of the RangeIndex.

  Examples

      >>> idx = pd.RangeIndex(5)
      >>> idx.step
      1

      >>> idx = pd.RangeIndex(2, -10, -3)
      >>> idx.step
      -3

  Even if `pandas.RangeIndex` is empty, `step` is still `1` if not supplied.

      >>> idx = pd.RangeIndex(1, 0)
      >>> idx.step
      1
