cudf.Series.equals

Series.equals(other)

Test whether two objects contain the same elements. This function allows two Series or DataFrames to be compared against each other to see if they have the same shape and elements. NaNs in the same location are considered equal. The column headers do not need to have the same type.

Parameters

otherSeries or DataFrame

The other Series or DataFrame to be compared with the first.

Returns

bool

True if all elements are the same in both objects, False otherwise.

Examples

>>> import cudf

Comparing Series with equals:

>>> s = cudf.Series([1, 2, 3])
>>> other = cudf.Series([1, 2, 3])
>>> s.equals(other)
True
>>> different = cudf.Series([1.5, 2, 3])
>>> s.equals(different)
False

Comparing DataFrames with equals:

>>> df = cudf.DataFrame({1: [10], 2: [20]})
>>> df
    1   2
0  10  20
>>> exactly_equal = cudf.DataFrame({1: [10], 2: [20]})
>>> exactly_equal
    1   2
0  10  20
>>> df.equals(exactly_equal)
True

For two DataFrames to compare equal, the types of column values must be equal, but the types of column labels need not:

>>> different_column_type = cudf.DataFrame({1.0: [10], 2.0: [20]})
>>> different_column_type
   1.0  2.0
0   10   20
>>> df.equals(different_column_type)
True
