# pandas.Index.slice_locs

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

  Compute slice locations for input labels.

  Parameters:
    start label, default None

      If None, defaults to the beginning.

    end label, default None

      If None, defaults to the end.

    step int, defaults None

      If None, defaults to 1.

  Returns:
    tuple[int, int]

      Returns a tuple of two integers representing the slice locations for the input labels within the index.

  See also

  `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)
