Full name
numpy.number
Library
NumPy
Syntax
numpy.number
Description
numpy.number is a class from the NumPy library that represents all numeric types.
Parameters
The numpy.number class takes no arguments.
Examples
We can use this class as an argument to the select_dtypes method of pandas DataFrames to select (or exclude) the numeric columns. For example, let's load the titanic dataset from seaborn:
import numpy as np
import seaborn as sns
titanic = sns.load_dataset("titanic")
titanic.head(3)
Now, if we apply the select_dtypes method specifying that only the numeric columns are selected, the result is the following:
titanic.select_dtypes(include = np.number).head ()
