# pandas.Series.prod

Series.prod(*, axis=None, skipna=True, numeric_only=False, min_count=0, **kwargs)

  Return the product of the values over the requested axis.

  By default, missing values are skipped. To include them in the calculation, set `skipna` parameter to False.

  Parameters:
    axis{index (0)}

      Axis for the function to be applied on. For Series this parameter is unused and defaults to 0.

      Warning

      The behavior of DataFrame.prod with `axis=None` is deprecated, in a future version this will reduce over both axes and return a scalar To retain the old behavior, pass axis=0 (or do not pass axis).

      Added in version 2.0.0.

    skipna bool, default True

      Exclude NA/null values when computing the result.

    numeric_only bool, default False

      Include only float, int, boolean columns. Not implemented for Series.

    min_count int, default 0

      The required number of valid values to perform the operation. If fewer than `min_count` non-NA values are present the result will be NA.

    **kwargs

      Additional keyword arguments to be passed to the function.

  Returns:
    scalar

      Value containing the calculation referenced in the description.

  Examples

  By default, the product of an empty or all-NA Series is `1`

      >>> pd.Series([], dtype="float64").prod()
      1.0

  This can be controlled with the `min_count` parameter

      >>> pd.Series([], dtype="float64").prod(min_count=1)
      nan

  Thanks to the `skipna` parameter, `min_count` handles all-NA and empty series identically.

      >>> pd.Series([np.nan]).prod()
      1.0
      >>> pd.Series([np.nan]).prod(min_count=1)
      nan
