Series.map()

Map values of Series using input correspondence (which can be a dict, Series, or function)

Examples

Map inputs to outputs

>>> x
one   1
two   2
three 3

>>> y
1  foo
2  bar
3  baz

>>> x.map(y)
one   foo
two   bar
three baz

Use na_action to control whether NA values are affected by the mapping function.

>>> s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, np.nan])

>>> s2 = s.map(lambda x: 'this is a string {}'.format(x),
               na_action=None)
0    this is a string 1.0
1    this is a string 2.0
2    this is a string 3.0
3    this is a string nan
dtype: object

>>> s3 = s.map(lambda x: 'this is a string {}'.format(x),
               na_action='ignore')
0    this is a string 1.0
1    this is a string 2.0
2    this is a string 3.0
3                     NaN
dtype: object
