#  pandas.Index.astype  #

Index.  astype  (  _ dtype  _ , _ copy  =  True  _ )  [ [source]
](https://github.com/pandas-
dev/pandas/blob/v2.2.2/pandas/core/indexes/base.py#L1045-L1108) #

    

Create an Index with values cast to dtypes.

The class of a new Index is determined by dtype. When conversion is
impossible, a TypeError exception is raised.

Parameters  :

    

**dtype** numpy dtype or pandas type

    

Note that any signed integer  dtype  is treated as ` 'int64'  ` , and any
unsigned integer  dtype  is treated as ` 'uint64'  ` , regardless of the size.

**copy** bool, default True

    

By default, astype always returns a newly allocated object. If copy is set to
False and internal requirements on dtype are satisfied, the original data is
used to create a new Index or the original Index is returned.

Returns  :

    

Index

    

Index with values cast to specified dtype.

Examples

    
    
    >>> idx = pd.Index([1, 2, 3])
    >>> idx
    Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64')
    >>> idx.astype('float')
    Index([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], dtype='float64')
