Python | Pandas TimedeltaIndex.max

Pandas is a fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use open source data analysis and manipulation tool, built on top of the Python programming language. Pandas TimedeltaIndex is a specialized DateTimeIndex for representing a series of durations.

TimedeltaIndex.max() is a method in Pandas TimedeltaIndex which computes the maximum value in the TimedeltaIndex.

Syntax

TimedeltaIndex.max(*args, **kwargs)

Parameters

*args and **kwargs are passed to the numpy.ndarray.max() method

Returns

Returns the maximum value in the TimedeltaIndex.

Code Example

import pandas as pd

# create a TimedeltaIndex
tdi = pd.TimedeltaIndex(['1 days', '2 days', '3 days', '4 days'])

# compute the maximum value in the TimedeltaIndex
max_value = tdi.max()

# print the result
print("The maximum value in the TimedeltaIndex is:", max_value)

Output:

The maximum value in the TimedeltaIndex is: 4 days 00:00:00

In the above code example, a TimedeltaIndex is created with the values ['1 days', '2 days', '3 days', '4 days']. Then max() method is called on the TimedeltaIndex to compute the maximum value. The result is printed which shows the maximum value in the TimedeltaIndex is 4 days 00:00:00.
