Syntax: DatetimeIndex.is_month_start

Return: numpy array containing logical values.

Example # 1: Use the DatetimeIndex.is_month_start attribute to check if the dates present in the DatetimeIndex are the first day of the month.

# import pandas as pd import pandas as pd   # Create DatetimeIndex didx = pd.DatetimeIndex ([ `2014-08-01` , `2014-10-05` ,   `2015-04-01` , ` 2000-12-02` ])   # Print DatetimeIndex print (didx)

Output:

Now we want to find out if the dates contained in this DatetimeIndex are the first day of the month.

# determine if days are the first day of the month. didx.is_month_start

Output:

As we can see in the output, the function returned an empty array containing boolean values ​​for each entry in the DatetimeIndex object.  True values ​​indicate that the corresponding date was the first day of the month, and False values ​​indicate that the corresponding date was not the first day of the month.

Example # 2: Use the DatetimeIndex.is_month_start attribute to check if the dates present in the DatetimeIndex object are the first day of the month.

# import pandas as pd import pandas as pd   # Create DatetimeIndex didx = pd.DatetimeIndex (start = `2000-01-10 06:30` , freq = ` CBMS` ,  periods = 5 , tz = `Asia / Calcutta` )   # Print DatetimeIndex print (didx)

Output:

Now we want to find out if the dates contained in this the DatetimeIndex object, the first day of the month.

# determine if days are the first day of the month. didx.is_mont h_start

Exit:

As we can see in the output, the function returned an empty array containing boolean values ​​for each entry in the DatetimeIndex object.  True values ​​indicate that the corresponding date was the first day of the month, and False values ​​indicate that the corresponding date was not the first day of the month.
