# Creating a Series object

my_series = pd.Series([10, 20, 30, 40, 50])



# Printing the Series object

# Adding a suffix to the row labels

print(my_series.add_suffix("_row"))

Explanation

  • Line 4: We import the pandas library.
  • Line 7: We create a Series object, my_series.
  • Line 10: We print my_series.
  • Line 13: We add the suffix "_row" to the row labels of my_series using the add_suffix() function. We print the result to the console.
