pandas.Series.multiply

Series.multiply(other, level=None, fill_value=None, axis=0)[source]

Return Multiplication of series and other, element-wise (binary operator mul).

Equivalent to series * other, but with support to substitute a fill_value for missing data in either one of the inputs.

Parameters

other:Series or scalar value

fill_value:None or float value, default None (NaN)

Fill existing missing (NaN) values, and any new element needed for successful Series alignment, with this value before computation. If data in both corresponding Series locations is missing the result of filling (at that location) will be missing.

level:int or name

Broadcast across a level, matching Index values on the passed MultiIndex level.

Returns

Series

The result of the operation.

Examples

>>> a = pd.Series([1, 1, 1, np.nan], index=['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'])
>>> a
a    1.0
b    1.0
c    1.0
d    NaN
dtype: float64
>>> b = pd.Series([1, np.nan, 1, np.nan], index=['a', 'b', 'd', 'e'])
>>> b
a    1.0
b    NaN
d    1.0
e    NaN
dtype: float64
>>> a.multiply(b, fill_value=0)
a    1.0
b    0.0
c    0.0
d    0.0
e    NaN
dtype: float64
