Pandas Timestamp.normalize() function is used to normalize Timestamp to midnight. The function perform this operation while preserving tz information.

Syntax :Timestamp.normalize()

Parameters : None

Return : Timestamp

Example #1: Use Timestamp.normalize() function to normalize the Timestamp to midnight value.

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Create the Timestamp object
ts = pd.Timestamp(year = 2011,  month = 11, day = 21,
                  hour = 10, second = 49, tz = 'US/Central')

# Print the Timestamp object
print(ts)

Output :

Now we will use the Timestamp.normalize() function to normalize the value in the given Timestamp to midnight value.

# normalize to midnight value
ts.isoweekday()

Output :

As we can see in the output, the Timestamp.normalize() function has normalized the given Timestamp to midnight.

Example #2: Use Timestamp.normalize() function to normalize the Timestamp to midnight value.

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

                  hour = 4, second = 49, tz = 'Europe/Berlin')

# Print the Timestamp object
print(ts)

Output :

Now we will use the Timestamp.normalize() function to normalize the value in the given Timestamp to midnight value.

# normalize to midnight value
ts.isoweekday()

Output :

As we can see in the output, the Timestamp.normalize() function has normalized the given Timestamp to midnight.
