# pandas.Index.inferred_type

Index.inferred_type

  Return a string of the type inferred from the values.

  This inspects the actual values in the Index to determine their type, which may differ from the stored `dtype`. For example, an object-dtype Index containing only integers returns `'integer'`.

  `Index.dtype`

    Return the dtype object of the underlying data.

  Examples

      >>> idx = pd.Index([1, 2, 3])
      >>> idx
      Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
      >>> idx.inferred_type
      'integer'
