AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'split' for pandas

Question

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'split'

Data is:

print(df)


    Content               Page no
0   My name is mark       3
1   My name is jeff       3
2   My name is bill       3

The code is:

df['doc_len'] = df['Content'].apply(lambda words: len(words.split()))

The error it's returning is:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'split'

The Content column is object type and it's returning int object has no attribute split

Answer 1

You can try:

via str.split() and str.len() :

df['doc_len']=df['Content'].str.split().str.len()

OR

via str.count() and then add 1:

df['doc_len']=df['Content'].str.count(' ')+1
