idx = pd.Index([900, 700, 620, 388, 900])
  
# Print the index
print(idx)


Output :

Now we will use Index.is_unique attribute to find out if the underlying data in the given Index object is unique or not.




# check if the values in the Index
# is unique or not.
result = idx.is_unique
  
# Print the result
print(result)
