Appending list with highest value from two columns using for loop in pandas

Question

I have two columns: column A, and column B.

I would like to find whether the value in each row of column A is larger than the value for the same row in column B, and if it is append a list with these values.

I'm able to append the list if the value in column A is higher than a set value, but I'm unsure how to compare it to the value from column B.

The below code appends the list if the value in column A is higher than 4. Hopefully I'm on the right track and can just substitute 4 with some other code?

list = []

for x in A:
    if x > 4:
        list.append(x)

print(list)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Answer 1

An approach could be:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({"A":[2, 3, 4, 5], "B":[1, 4, 6, 3]}) # Test DataFrame

print(list(df[df["A"] > df["B"]]["A"]))

OUTPUT

[2, 5]
