Create an Index with values cast to dtypes.
The class of a new Index is determined by dtype. When conversion is impossible, a TypeError exception is raised.
Note that any signed integer dtype is treated as 'int64'
, and any unsigned integer dtype is treated as 'uint64'
, regardless of the size.
By default, astype always returns a newly allocated object. If copy is set to False and internal requirements on dtype are satisfied, the original data is used to create a new Index or the original Index is returned.
Index with values cast to specified dtype.

Examples
>>> idx = pd.Index([1, 2, 3]) >>> idx Index([1, 2, 3], dtype='int64') >>> idx.astype("float") Index([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], dtype='float64')
