Timedelta là sự khác biệt về thời gian, được thể hiện bằng các đơn vị khác nhau, ví dụ như ngày, giờ, phút, giây. Chúng có thể là số dương hoặc số âm. Chúng ta có thể tạo các đối tượng Timedelta bằng nhiều đối số khác nhau như được hiển thị bên dưới−

String

By passing a string literal, we can create a timedelta object.

import pandas as pd

print pd.Timedelta(''2 days 2 hours 15 minutes 30 seconds'')

Its output is as follows −

2 days 02:15:30

Integer

By passing an integer value with the unit, an argument creates a Timedelta object.

import pandas as pd

print pd.Timedelta(6,unit=''h'')

Its output is as follows −

0 days 06:00:00

Data Offsets

Data offsets such as – weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, nanoseconds can also be used in construction.

import pandas as pd

print pd.Timedelta(days=2)

Its output is as follows −

2 days 00:00:00

to_timedelta()

Using the top-level pd.to_timedelta, you can convert a scalar, array, list, or series from a recognized timedelta format/ value into a Timedelta type. It will construct Series if the input is a Series, a scalar if the input is scalar-like, otherwise will output a TimedeltaIndex.

import pandas as pd

print pd.Timedelta(days=2)

Its output is as follows −

2 days 00:00:00

Operations

You can operate on Series/ DataFrames and construct timedelta64[ns] Series through subtraction operations on datetime64[ns] Series, or Timestamps.

Let us now create a DataFrame with Timedelta and datetime objects and perform some arithmetic operations on it −

import pandas as pd

s = pd.Series(pd.date_range(''2012-1-1'', periods=3, freq=''D''))
td = pd.Series([ pd.Timedelta(days=i) for i in range(3) ])
df = pd.DataFrame(dict(A = s, B = td))

print df

Its output is as follows −

            A      B
0  2012-01-01 0 days
1  2012-01-02 1 days
2  2012-01-03 2 days

Addition Operations

import pandas as pd

s = pd.Series(pd.date_range(''2012-1-1'', periods=3, freq=''D''))
td = pd.Series([ pd.Timedelta(days=i) for i in range(3) ])
df = pd.DataFrame(dict(A = s, B = td))
df[''C'']=df[''A'']+df[''B'']

print df

Its output is as follows −

           A      B          C
0 2012-01-01 0 days 2012-01-01
1 2012-01-02 1 days 2012-01-03
2 2012-01-03 2 days 2012-01-05

Subtraction Operation

import pandas as pd

s = pd.Series(pd.date_range(''2012-1-1'', periods=3, freq=''D''))
td = pd.Series([ pd.Timedelta(days=i) for i in range(3) ])
df = pd.DataFrame(dict(A = s, B = td))
df[''C'']=df[''A'']+df[''B'']
df[''D'']=df[''C'']+df[''B'']

print df

Its output is as follows −

           A      B          C          D
0 2012-01-01 0 days 2012-01-01 2012-01-01
1 2012-01-02 1 days 2012-01-03 2012-01-04
2 2012-01-03 2 days 2012-01-05 2012-01-07
