timedelta_range() function

The timedelta_range() function is used to concatenate pandas objects along a particular axis with optional set logic along the other axes.

Syntax:

pandas.timedelta_range(start=None, end=None, periods=None, freq=None, name=None, closed=None)[source]

Return a fixed frequency TimedeltaIndex, with day as the default frequency

Parameters:

Name	Description	Type	Default Value	Required / Optional
start	Left bound for generating timedeltas	string or timedelta-like	None	Required
end	Right bound for generating timedeltas	string or timedelta-like	None	Required
periods	Number of periods to generate	integer	None	Required
freq	Frequency strings can have multiples, e.g. '5H'	string or DateOffset	‘D’	Required
name	Name of the resulting TimedeltaIndex	string	None	Required
closed	Make the interval closed with respect to the given frequency to the 'left', 'right', or both sides (None)	string	None	Required

Returns: rng - TimedeltaIndex

Notes

Of the four parameters start, end, periods, and freq, exactly three must be specified. If freq is omitted, the resulting TimedeltaIndex will have periods linearly spaced elements between start and end (closed on both sides).
