e labels match. If `values` is a Series, that's the index. If `values` is a dict, the keys must be the column names, which must match. If `values` is a DataFrame, then both the index and column labels must match. Returns ------- DataFrame DataFrame of booleans showing whether each element in the DataFrame is contained in values. See Also -------- DataFrame.eq: Equality test for DataFrame. Series.isin: Equivalent method on Series. Series.str.contains: Test if pattern or regex is contained within a string of a Series or Index. Examples -------- >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'num_legs': [2, 4], 'num_wings': [2, 0]}, ... index=['falcon', 'dog']) >>> df num_legs num_wings falcon 2 2 dog 4 0 When ``values`` is a list check whether every value in the DataFrame is present in the list (which animals have 0 or 2 legs or wings) >>> df.isin([0, 2]) num_legs num_wings falcon True True dog False True To check if ``values`` is *not* in the DataFrame, use the ``~`` operator: >>> ~df.isin([0, 2]) num_legs num_wings falcon False False dog True False When ``values`` is a dict, we can pass values to check for each column separately: >>> df.isin({'num_wings': [0, 3]}) num_legs num_wings falcon False False dog False True When ``values`` is a Series or DataFrame the index and column must match. Note that 'falcon' does not match based on the number of legs in other. >>> other = pd.DataFrame({'num_legs': [8, 3], 'num_wings': [0, 2]}, ... index=['spider', 'falcon']) >>> df.isin(other) num_legs num_wings falcon False True dog False False r
