class Categorical(NDArrayBackedExtensionArray, PandasObject, ObjectStringArrayMixin):
    """
    Represent a categorical variable in classic R / S-plus fashion.

    `Categoricals` can only take on a limited, and usually fixed, number
    of possible values (`categories`). In contrast to statistical categorical
    variables, a `Categorical` might have an order, but numerical operations
    (additions, divisions, ...) are not possible.

    All values of the `Categorical` are either in `categories` or `np.nan`.
    Assigning values outside of `categories` will raise a `ValueError`. Order
    is defined by the order of the `categories`, not lexical order of the
    values.

    Parameters
    ----------
    values : list-like
        The values of the categorical. If categories are given, values not in
        categories will be replaced with NaN.
    categories : Index-like (unique), optional
        The unique categories for this categorical. If not given, the
        categories are assumed to be the unique values of `values` (sorted, if
        possible, otherwise in the order in which they appear).
    ordered : bool, default False
        Whether or not this categorical is treated as a ordered categorical.
        If True, the resulting categorical will be ordered.
        An ordered categorical respects, when sorted, the order of its
        `categories` attribute (which in turn is the `categories` argument, if
        provided).
    dtype : CategoricalDtype
        An instance of ``CategoricalDtype`` to use for this categorical.

    Attributes
    ----------
    categories : Index
        The categories of this categorical.
    codes : ndarray
        The codes (integer positions, which point to the categories) of this
        categorical, read only.
    ordered : bool
        Whether or not this Categorical is ordered.
    dtype : CategoricalDtype
        The instance of ``CategoricalDtype`` storing the ``categories``
        and ``ordered``.

    Methods
    -------
    from_codes
    __array__

    Raises
    ------
    ValueError
        If the categories do not validate.
    TypeError
        If an explicit ``ordered=True`` is given but no `categories` and the
        `values` are not sortable.

    See Also
    --------
    CategoricalDtype : Type for categorical data.
    CategoricalIndex : An Index with an underlying ``Categorical``.

    Notes
    -----
    See the `user guide
    <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/categorical.html>`__
    for more.

    Examples
    --------
    >>> pd.Categorical([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3])
    [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3]
    Categories (3, int64): [1, 2, 3]

    >>> pd.Categorical(['a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'c'])
    ['a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'c']
    Categories (3, object): ['a', 'b', 'c']

    Missing values are not included as a category.

    >>> c = pd.Categorical([1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, np.nan])
    >>> c
    [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, NaN]
    Categories (3, int64): [1, 2, 3]

    However, their presence is indicated in the `codes` attribute
    by code `-1`.

    >>> c.codes
    array([ 0,  1,  2,  0,  1,  2, -1], dtype=int8)

    Ordered `Categoricals` can be sorted according to the custom order
    of the categories and can have a min and max value.

    >>> c = pd.Categorical(['a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'b', 'c'], ordered=True,
    ...                    categories=['c', 'b', 'a'])

        ----------
        new_categories : list-like, dict-like or callable

            New categories which will replace old categories.

            * list-like: all items must be unique and the number of items in

              old categories to new. Categories not contained in the mapping
              are passed through and extra categories in the mapping are
              ignored.
