Tag rows based on other columns values












1














I have a pandas dataframe:



street_name        eircode

Malborough Road    BLT12

123 Fake Road      NaN

My Street          NaN


I would like to create another column called unique based on these conditions:




  1. If it has eircode, return 'yes' in the unique column, THEN

  2. If it doesn't have an eircode, check the first string in the street_name:


    • if the first string is a digit, return 'yes' in the unique column

    • if it is not, return 'no' in the unique column




I came up with this solution where:




  1. I changed the data types to string for both columns street_name and eircode

  2. Get the first string using a lambda function

  3. Defined a tagging function to be applied to the data frame


# change data types

df['eircode'] = df['eircode'].astype('str')
df['street_name'] = df['street_name'].astype('str')



# get the first string from street_name column
df['first_str'] = df['street_name'].apply(lambda x: x.split()[0])



def tagging(x):

if x['eircode'] != 'nan':

    return 'yes'

elif x['first_str'].isdigit() == True:

    return 'yes'

else:

    return 'no'



df['unique'] = df.apply(tagging, axis=1)


The issue with this is that I have to change the data type and then have to make separate column. Is there a more elegant way or a more concise way to achieve the same result?

            code for cond2 is excellent as I was trying to do the same (Selecting the first word after the split) but did not know the correct way to do it. great use of np.where which I've never used before. one issue I encountered using this solution is that when the number extracted is a float it will return an error.

          With Pandas, it's best to use column-wise calculations; apply with a custom function represents an inefficient, Python-level row-wise loop.



          df = pd.DataFrame({'street_name': ['Malborough Road', '123 Fake Road', 'My Street'],
          
                   'eircode': ['BLT12', None, None]})
          

          
cond1 = df['eircode'].isnull()
          
cond2 = ~df['street_name'].str.split(n=1).str[0].str.isdigit()
          

          
df['unique'] = np.where(cond1 & cond2, 'no', 'yes')
          

          
print(df)
          

          
  eircode      street_name unique
          
0   BLT12  Malborough Road    yes
          
1    None    123 Fake Road    yes
          
2    None        My Street     no

            code for cond2 is excellent as I was trying to do the same (Selecting the first word after the split) but did not know the correct way to do it. great use of np.where which I've never used before. one issue I encountered using this solution is that when the number extracted is a float it will return an error.

          Refactoring coordinates for Minecraft Pi buildings written in Python

          Image
          0 $begingroup$ I'm fairly new to coding and I wrote this script in Python for a house with a roof in Minecraft Pi. I've found different ways to write the coordinates to make the code base shorter, but I'm wondering if it is possible for me to refactor it any further so I don't have to list each coordinate line by line. import mcpi.minecraft as minecraft import mcpi.block as block mc = minecraft.Minecraft.create() p = mc.player.getTilePos() mc.setBlocks(p.x+1, p.y, p.z+1, #Main structure starting coordinates (DO NOT ALTER) p.x+19, p.y+4, p.z+6, #Structure size/coordinates (Alters cube size) block.STONE_BRICK) mc.setBlocks(p.x+2, p.y+1, p.z+2, #Hollowing out main structure interior p.x+18, p.y+3, p.z+5, block.AIR) mc.setBlocks(p.x, p.y...
