I have created the following dataframe from a csv file:
id marks
5155 1,2,3,,,,,,,,
2156 8,12,34,10,4,3,2,5,0,9
3557 9,,,,,,,,,,
7886 0,7,56,4,34,3,22,4,,,
3689 2,8,,,,,,,,
It is indexed on id
. The values for the marks
column are string. I need to convert them to a list of numbers so that I can iterate over them and use them as index number for another dataframe. How can I convert them from string to a list? I tried to add a new column and convert them based on " Add a columns in DataFrame based on other column " but it failed:
df = df.assign(new_col_arr=lambda x: np.fromstring(x['marks'].values[0], sep=',').astype(int))
Here's a way to do:
df = df.assign(new_col_arr=df['marks'].str.split(','))
# convert to int
df['new_col'] = df['new_col_arr'].apply(lambda x: list(map(int, [i for i in x if i != ''])))
I presume that you want to create NEW dataframe, since the number of items is differnet from number of rows. I suggest the following:
#source data
df = pd.DataFrame({'id':[5155, 2156, 7886],
'marks':['1,2,3,,,,,,,,','8,12,34,10,4,3,2,5,0,9', '0,7,56,4,34,3,22,4,,,']
# create dictionary from df:
dd = {row[0]:np.fromstring(row[1], dtype=int, sep=',') for _, row in df.iterrows()}
{5155: array([1, 2, 3]),
2156: array([ 8, 12, 34, 10, 4, 3, 2, 5, 0, 9]),
7886: array([ 0, 7, 56, 4, 34, 3, 22, 4])}
# here you pad the lists inside dictionary so that they have equal length
...
# convert dd to DataFrame:
df2 = pd.DataFrame(dd)
I found two similar alternatives:
df['marks'] = df['marks'].str.split(',').map(lambda num_str_list: [int(num_str) for num_str in num_str_list if num_str])
df['marks'] = df['marks'].map(lambda arr_str: [int(num_str) for num_str in arr_str.split(',') if num_str])
