cudf.core.column.string.StringMethods.zfill#

StringMethods.zfill(width: int) → SeriesOrIndex#

Pad strings in the Series/Index by prepending ‘0’ characters.

Strings in the Series/Index are padded with ‘0’ characters on the left of the string to reach a total string length width. Strings in the Series/Index with length greater or equal to width are unchanged.

Parameters

widthint: Minimum length of resulting string; strings with length less than width be prepended with ‘0’ characters.

Returns

Series/Index of str dtype: Returns Series or Index with prepended ‘0’ characters.

See also

rjust: Fills the left side of strings with an arbitrary character.
ljust: Fills the right side of strings with an arbitrary character.
pad: Fills the specified sides of strings with an arbitrary character.
center: Fills boths sides of strings with an arbitrary character.

Notes

Differs from str.zfill() which has special handling for ‘+’/’-‘ in the string.

Examples

>>> import cudf
>>> s = cudf.Series(['-1', '1', '1000',  None])
>>> s
0      -1
1       1
2    1000
3    <NA>
dtype: object

Note that None is not string, therefore it is converted to None. The minus sign in '-1' is treated as a regular character and the zero is added to the left of it (str.zfill() would have moved it to the left). 1000 remains unchanged as it is longer than width.

>>> s.str.zfill(3)
0     0-1
1     001
2    1000
3    <NA>
dtype: object
