pandas 1.4.2

NotesParametersReturns
symmetric_difference(self, other, result_name=None, sort=None)

Notes

symmetric_difference contains elements that appear in either idx1 or idx2 but not both. Equivalent to the Index created by idx1.difference(idx2) | idx2.difference(idx1) with duplicates dropped.

Parameters

other : Index or array-like
result_name : str
sort : False or None, default None

Whether to sort the resulting index. By default, the values are attempted to be sorted, but any TypeError from incomparable elements is caught by pandas.

Returns

symmetric_difference : Index

Compute the symmetric difference of two Index objects.

Examples

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> idx1 = pd.Index([1, 2, 3, 4])
... idx2 = pd.Index([2, 3, 4, 5])
... idx1.symmetric_difference(idx2) Int64Index([1, 5], dtype='int64')

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
