modin.pandas.Series.take¶
- Series.take(indices, axis=0, **kwargs) Series[source]¶
Return the elements in the given positional indices along an axis.
This means that we are not indexing according to actual values in the index attribute of the object. We are indexing according to the actual position of the element in the object.
- Parameters:
indices (array-like) – An array of ints indicating which positions to take.
axis ({0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns', None}, default 0) – The axis on which to select elements.
0means that we are selecting rows,1means that we are selecting columns. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.**kwargs – For compatibility with
numpy.take(). Has no effect on the output.
- Returns:
An array-like containing the elements taken from the object.
- Return type:
same type as caller

Examples
>>> ser = pd.Series([-1, 5, 6, 2, 4]) >>> ser 0 -1 1 5 2 6 3 2 4 4 dtype: int64
Take elements at positions 0 and 3 along the axis 0 (default).
>>> ser.take([0, 3]) 0 -1 3 2 dtype: int64
We may take elements using negative integers for positive indices, starting from the end of the object, just like with Python lists.
>>> ser.take([-1, -2]) 4 4 3 2 dtype: int64
