pandas.Index.astype¶
-
Index.
astype
(dtype, copy=True)[source]¶ Create an Index with values cast to dtypes. The class of a new Index is determined by dtype. When conversion is impossible, a ValueError exception is raised.
Parameters: - dtype : numpy dtype or pandas type
copy : bool, default True
By default, astype always returns a newly allocated object. If copy is set to False and internal requirements on dtype are satisfied, the original data is used to create a new Index or the original Index is returned.
New in version 0.19.0.
