pandas.Series.str.upper

Convert strings in the Series/Index to uppercase.

Equivalent to str.upper().

return

Series/Index of objects

Limitations

• All values in Series equal to None are converted to NaNs.

• This function may reveal slower performance than Pandas* on user system. Users should exercise a tradeoff

  between staying in JIT-region with that function or going back to interpreter mode.

import pandas as pd
from numba import njit


@njit
def series_str_upper():
    series = pd.Series(['lower', 'CAPITALS', 'this is a sentence', 'SwApCaSe'])

    return series.str.upper()


print(series_str_upper())

$ python ./series/str/series_str_upper.py

1              CAPITALS
