pandas.Series.str - Vectorized string function

Pandas Series and Index are equipped with a set of string processing methods that make it easy to operate on each element of the array. We will deal with couple of examples.

Lets say, we create a Series of STD codes and city names separated by '#'

import pandas as pd

stdcodes = pd.Series(['11#delhi', '22#mumbai', '33#kolkatta', '44#chennai', '40#hyderabad'])

print(stdcodes)
