Creating a Pandas Series from Lists

A Series is a one-dimensional labeled array capable of holding any data type (integers, strings, floating point numbers, Python objects, etc.). It has to be remembered that unlike Python lists, a Series will always contain data of the same type.

Let’s see how to create a Pandas Series from lists.

Method #1 : Using Series() method without any argument.

# import pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
  
# create Pandas Series with default index values
# default index ranges is from 0 to len(list) - 1
x = pd.Series(['Geeks', 'for', 'Geeks'])
  
# print the Series
print(x)

 Output :



 

 Method #2 : Using Series() method with 'index' argument.

# import pandas lib. as pd 


import pandas as pd 


  


# create Pandas Series with define indexes 


x = pd.Series([10, 20, 30, 40, 50], index =['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']) 


  


# print the Series 


print(x)

            'portal', 'for', 'geeks'] 


              


# create Pandas Series with define indexes 


x = pd.Series(lst, index = ind) 


  


# print the Series 


print(x)
