Chronological order
stay pandas in , There is a very common function date_range, Especially when dealing with time series data , The purpose of this function is to generate a
DatetimeIndex, It is the index of time series data .
pandas.date_range(start=None, end=None, periods=None, freq=None, tz=None,
normalize=False, name=None, closed=None, **kwargs) →
pandas.core.indexes.datetimes.DatetimeIndex
Returns a fixed frequency DatetimeIndex.
parameter ：
start：str or datetime-like, Optional , The default value is None, Represents the starting point of the date .
end：str or datetime-like, Optional , The default value is None, Indicates the end of the date .
periods：
int, Optional , The default value is None, Indicates how many Date index values you want to generate from and this function （ Number of cycles to generate ）; If it is None In my words , that start and end Must not be
None.
freq：str or DateOffset, default “D”, Represents the unit of natural day , This parameter is used to specify the time unit , such as “5H” Indicates every 5 Every hour .

N nanosecond
tz：str or tzinfo, Optional , Return to localized DatetimeIndex Time zone name for , for example ' Asia/Hong_Kong
'. By default , Generated DatetimeIndex It's time zone independent .
normalize：bool, default False. If True In my words , Before generating the time index value, the start and end It's all midnight of the day 0 spot .
name：str, default None. Specify a name for the returned time index .
closed：{None, ‘left’, ‘right’}, Optional . The default value is None, express
start and end Is the end of the interval included in the interval , There can be three values ,“left” Represents a left closed right open interval ,“right” Represents a left open right closed interval ,None It means that both sides are closed intervals .
**kwargs： compatibility , It didn't affect the results .
