polars.Series.reinterpret#

Series.reinterpret(*, signed: bool = True) → Series[source]#

Reinterpret the underlying bits as a signed/unsigned integer.

This operation is only allowed for 64bit integers. For lower bits integers, you can safely use that cast operation.

Parameters:

signed: If True, reinterpret as pl.Int64. Otherwise, reinterpret as pl.UInt64.

Examples

>>> s = pl.Series("a", [-(2**60), -2, 3])
>>> s
shape: (3,)
Series: 'a' [i64]
[
        -1152921504606846976
        -2
        3
]
>>> s.reinterpret(signed=False)
shape: (3,)
Series: 'a' [u64]
