Description
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
In [1]: import pandas as pd
In [2]: pd.__version__
Out[2]: '0.25.0'
In [3]: s = pd.Series(["A1", "BC2", "DEF3"])
In [4]: s
Out[4]:
0 A1
1 BC2
2 DEF3
dtype: object
In [5]: s.str.slice(start=-1)
Out[5]:
0 1
1 2
2 3
dtype: object
In [6]: s.str[:-1]
Out[6]:
0 A
1 BC
2 DEF
dtype: object
Problem description
It is not apparent from the documentation at https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.Series.str.slice.html that you can specify negative values for the start
and stop
arguments. So I think this should be stated, as well as used in some examples (as shown above).
Expected Output
N/A
Output of pd.show_versions()
N/A
