The prod() function is used to get the product of the values for the requested axis.

Syntax:

Series.prod(self, axis=None, skipna=None, level=None, numeric_only=None, min_count=0, **kwargs)

Parameters:

Name Description Type/Default Value Required / Optional
axis Axis for the function to be applied on. {index (0)} Required
skipna Exclude NA/null values when computing the result. bool
Default Value: True		 Required
level If the axis is a MultiIndex (hierarchical), count along a particular level, collapsing into a scalar. int or level name
Default Value: None		 Required
numeric_only Include only float, int, boolean columns. If None, will attempt to use everything, then use only numeric data. Not implemented for Series. bool

min_count The required number of valid values to perform the operation. If fewer than min_count non-NA values are present the result will be NA.
