    What will the following code result in? import pandas as pd pd.Series([10, 20], index=['A', 'B', 'C'])
    Question

    What will the following code result in?
    import pandas as pd
    pd.Series([10, 20], index=['A', 'B', 'C'])

    A.

    ValueError

    B.

    NameError

    C.

    IndexError

    D.

    SyntaxError

    Correct option is A


    The code provided will result in a ValueError because the number of elements in the index list (['A', 'B', 'C']) does not match the number of elements in the data list ([10, 20]).
    In the code:
    import pandas as pd
    pd.Series([10, 20], index=['A', 'B', 'C'])
    · The data list has 2 elements (10 and 20).
    · The index list has 3 elements ('A', 'B', and 'C').
    · The number of elements in the index must match the number of elements in the data. Since they don't match, a ValueError will be raised.
    Important Key Points:
    1. Mismatch in Lengths: When creating a pandas Series, the length of the data must be the same as the length of the index.
    2. Error Type: The ValueError is raised when there is an issue with the values passed to a function or operation, such as mismatched lengths in this case.
    Knowledge Booster:
    · Option (b): NameError would occur if there was an undefined variable or function, but that is not the issue here.
    · Option (c): IndexError occurs when accessing an invalid index, but here the issue is with mismatched lengths in data and index, not index access.
    · Option (d): SyntaxError occurs when there is incorrect syntax in the code, but the syntax here is correct, and the error is due to mismatched lengths.
