# Series class


class Series(base.IndexOpsMixin, generic.NDFrame):
    """
    One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels (including time series).

    Labels need not be unique but must be a hashable type. The object
    supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of
    methods for performing operations involving the index. Statistical
    methods from ndarray have been overridden to automatically exclude
    missing data (currently represented as NaN).

    Operations between Series (+, -, /, *, **) align values based on their
    associated index values-- they need not be the same length. The result
    index will be the sorted union of the two indexes.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : array-like, dict, or scalar value
        Contains data stored in Series

        .. versionchanged :: 0.23.0
           If data is a dict, argument order is maintained for Python 3.6
           and later.

    index : array-like or Index (1d)
        Values must be hashable and have the same length as `data`.
        Non-unique index values are allowed. Will default to
        RangeIndex (0, 1, 2, ..., n) if not provided. If both a dict and index
        sequence are used, the index will override the keys found in the
        dict.

        the same (a tuple with an array of indices for each dimension),
        but it will always be a one-item tuple because series only have
        one dimension.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> s = pd.Series([0, 3, 0, 4])
        >>> s.nonzero()
        (array([1, 3]),)
        >>> s.iloc[s.nonzero()[0]]
        1    3
        3    4
        dtype: int64

        >>> s = pd.Series([0, 3, 0, 4], index=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
        # same return although index of s is different
        >>> s.nonzero()
        (array([1, 3]),)
        >>> s.iloc[s.nonzero()[0]]
        b    3
        d    4

        Create a new view of the Series.

        This function will return a new Series with a view of the same
        underlying values in memory, optionally reinterpreted with a new data
        type. The new data type must preserve the same size in bytes as to not
        cause index misalignment.

        Parameters
        ----------
        dtype : data type
            Data type object or one of their string representations.

        Returns
        -------
        Series
            A new Series object as a view of the same data in memory.

        See Also
        --------
        numpy.ndarray.view : Equivalent numpy function to create a new view of
            the same data in memory.

        Notes
        -----
        Series are instantiated with ``dtype=float64`` by default. While
        ``numpy.ndarray.view()`` will return a view with the same data type as
        the original array, ``Series.view()`` (without specified dtype)
        will try using ``float64`` and may fail if the original data type size
        in bytes is not the same.

        Examples
        --------
        >>> s = pd.Series([-2, -1, 0, 1, 2], dtype='int8')
        >>> s
        0   -2
        1   -1
        2    0
        3    1
        4    2
        dtype: int8

        The 8 bit signed integer representation of `-1` is `0b11111111`, but
        the same bytes represent 255 if read as an 8 bit unsigned integer:

        >>> us = s.view('uint8')
        >>> us
        0    254
        1    255
        2      0
        3      1
        4      2
        dtype: uint8

        The views share the same underlying values:

        >>> us[0] = 128
        >>> s
        0   -128
        1     -1

        Generate a new DataFrame or Series with the index reset.

        This is useful when the index needs to be treated as a column, or
        when the index is meaningless and needs to be reset to the default
        before another operation.

        Parameters
        ----------
        level : int, str, tuple, or list, default optional
            For a Series with a MultiIndex, only remove the specified levels
            from the index. Removes all levels by default.
        drop : bool, default False
            Just reset the index, without inserting it as a column in
            the new DataFrame.
        name : object, optional
            The name to use for the column containing the original Series
            values. Uses ``self.name`` by default. This argument is ignored
            when `drop` is True.
        inplace : bool, default False
            Modify the Series in place (do not create a new object).

        Returns
        -------
        Series or DataFrame
            When `drop` is False (the default), a DataFrame is returned.
            The newly created columns will come first in the DataFrame,
            followed by the original Series values.
            When `drop` is True, a `Series` is returned.
            In either case, if ``inplace=True``, no value is returned.

        See Also
        --------
        DataFrame.reset_index: Analogous function for DataFrame.

        Examples
        --------

        >>> s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4], name='foo',
        ...               index=pd.Index(['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'], name='idx'))

        Generate a DataFrame with default index.

        >>> s.reset_index()
          idx  foo
        0   a    1
        1   b    2
        2   c    3
        3   d    4

        To specify the name of the new column use `name`.

        >>> s.reset_index(name='values')
          idx  values
        0   a       1
        1   b       2
        2   c       3
        3   d       4

        To generate a new Series with the default set `drop` to True.

        >>> s.reset_index(drop=True)
        0    1
        1    2
        2    3
        3    4
        Name: foo, dtype: int64

        To update the Series in place, without generating a new one
        set `inplace` to True. Note that it also requires ``drop=True``.

        >>> s.reset_index(inplace=True, drop=True)
        >>> s
        0    1
        1    2
        2    3
        3    4
        Name: foo, dtype: int64

        The `level` parameter is interesting for Series with a multi-level
        index.

        >>> arrays = [np.array(['bar', 'bar', 'baz', 'baz']),
        ...           np.array(['one', 'two', 'one', 'two'])]

        ...                                     names=['a', 'b']))

        To remove a specific level from the Index, use `level`.

        >>> s2.reset_index(level='a')
               a  foo
        b
        one  bar    0
        two  bar    1
        one  baz    2
        two  baz    3

        If `level` is not set, all levels are removed from the Index.

            - 'last' : Drop duplicates except for the last occurrence.
            - ``False`` : Drop all duplicates.
        inplace : boolean, default ``False``
            If ``True``, performs operation inplace and returns None.

        Returns
        -------
        deduplicated : Series

        See Also
        --------
        Index.drop_duplicates : equivalent method on Index
        DataFrame.drop_duplicates : equivalent method on DataFrame
        Series.duplicated : related method on Series, indicating duplicate
            Series values.

        Examples
        --------
        Generate an Series with duplicated entries.

        >>> s = pd.Series(['lama', 'cow', 'lama', 'beetle', 'lama', 'hippo'],
        ...               name='animal')

        3    beetle
        4      lama
        5     hippo
        Name: animal, dtype: object

        With the 'keep' parameter, the selection behaviour of duplicated values
        can be changed. The value 'first' keeps the first occurrence for each
        set of duplicated entries. The default value of keep is 'first'.

        >>> s.drop_duplicates()
        0      lama
        1       cow
        3    beetle
        5     hippo
        Name: animal, dtype: object

        The value 'last' for parameter 'keep' keeps the last occurrence for
        each set of duplicated entries.

        >>> s.drop_duplicates(keep='last')
        1       cow
        3    beetle
        4      lama
        5     hippo
        Name: animal, dtype: object

        The value ``False`` for parameter 'keep' discards all sets of
        duplicated entries. Setting the value of 'inplace' to ``True`` performs
        the operation inplace and returns ``None``.

        >>> s.drop_duplicates(keep=False, inplace=True)
        >>> s
        1       cow
        3    beetle

        Parameters
        ----------
        keep : {'first', 'last', False}, default 'first'
            - 'first' : Mark duplicates as ``True`` except for the first
              occurrence.
            - 'last' : Mark duplicates as ``True`` except for the last
              occurrence.
            - ``False`` : Mark all duplicates as ``True``.

        Examples
        --------
        By default, for each set of duplicated values, the first occurrence is
        set on False and all others on True:

        >>> animals = pd.Series(['lama', 'cow', 'lama', 'beetle', 'lama'])

        2     True
        3    False
        4     True
        dtype: bool

        which is equivalent to

        >>> animals.duplicated(keep='first')

        1    False
        2     True
        3    False
        4     True
        dtype: bool

        By using 'last', the last occurrence of each set of duplicated values
        is set on False and all others on True:

        >>> animals.duplicated(keep='last')
        0     True
        1    False
        2     True
        3    False
        4    False
        dtype: bool

        By setting keep on ``False``, all duplicates are True:

        >>> animals.duplicated(keep=False)
        0     True
        1    False
        2     True

        Iteratively appending to a Series can be more computationally intensive

        list and then concatenate the list with the original Series all at

        .. deprecated:: 0.21.0
            Use :func:`pandas.read_csv` instead.

        It is preferable to use the more powerful :func:`pandas.read_csv`
        for most general purposes, but ``from_csv`` makes for an easy
        roundtrip to and from a file (the exact counterpart of
        ``to_csv``), especially with a time Series.

        This method only differs from :func:`pandas.read_csv` in some defaults:

        - `index_col` is ``0`` instead of ``None`` (take first column as index
          by default)
        - `header` is ``None`` instead of ``0`` (the first row is not used as
          the column names)
        - `parse_dates` is ``True`` instead of ``False`` (try parsing the index
          as datetime by default)

        With :func:`pandas.read_csv`, the option ``squeeze=True`` can be used
        to return a Series like ``from_csv``.

        Parameters
        ----------
        path : string file path or file handle / StringIO
        sep : string, default ','
            Field delimiter
        parse_dates : boolean, default True
            Parse dates. Different default from read_table
        header : int, default None
            Row to use as header (skip prior rows)
        index_col : int or sequence, default 0
            Column to use for index. If a sequence is given, a MultiIndex
            is used. Different default from read_table
        encoding : string, optional
            a string representing the encoding to use if the contents are
            non-ascii, for python versions prior to 3
        infer_datetime_format: boolean, default False
            If True and `parse_dates` is True for a column, try to infer the
            datetime format based on the first datetime string. If the format
            can be inferred, there often will be a large parsing speed-up.
