Convert index number to int (Python)

Question

EDIT: The .mean() function works just right:

renda['age'].mean()

I'm still not sure why the errors mentioned below and in the answers happened, but this helps as a shortcut.

---

I got a DataFrame renda in which there's a column age and I need to get the mean of the ages. I wrote

t_age = renda['age'].sum()
renda.index = renda.index.map(int) #intended solution
last_id = renda.iloc(-1)
print(t_age/last_id)

Trying to adapt the answers from here. It still doesn't work though and this error is raised:

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'int' and '_iLocIndexer'

What can I do to solve this? Thank you!

Answer 1

I think you need this:

t_age = renda['age'].astype(int).sum()
renda.index = renda.index.astype(int) #use astype to convert to int
last_id = renda.iloc[-1] #Square brackets
print(t_age/last_id)
