Series.apply()
Apply a function to each value in a Series:
df["grade"] = df["score"].apply(lambda x: "A" if x >= 90 else "B")
Or with a named function:
def get_grade(score):
if score >= 90: return "A"
elif score >= 80: return "B"
else: return "C"
df["grade"] = df["score"].apply(get_grade)
DataFrame.apply()
Apply function to rows or columns:
# Apply to each column (axis=0, default)
df.apply(lambda col: col.max())
# Apply to each row (axis=1)
df.apply(lambda row: row["price"] * row["qty"], axis=1)
Series.map()
Transform values using a dictionary or function:
# Using dictionary
df["grade_name"] = df["grade"].map({
"A": "Excellent",
"B": "Good",
"C": "Average"
})
# Using function
df["score_doubled"] = df["score"].map(lambda x: x * 2)
