Remove NaN in a python list using max

In a recent interview I was given the following problem. We have a list l = [NaN, 5, -12, NaN, 9, 0] and we want to replaceNaN with -9 using the max function knowing that max(NaN, -9) = -9. What I have tried is : but the output is still the same list. Can’t figure out how to code this.

max(*args, key = … ). How to modify key to get just certain values?

I am a bit confused with max(*args, key = ..) function. Imagine I have a following list: my_list = [2, 3, 4, -5, -2, -1]. I want to find maximum value within the negative values in my_list. For this, I am using the following code max(my_list, key = lambda x: x<0), but it gives me -5. Can you please explain

Trying to compare to values in a pandas dataframe for max value

I’ve got a pandas dataframe, and I’m trying to fill a new column in the dataframe, which takes the maximum value of two values situated in another column of the dataframe, iteratively. I’m trying to build a loop to do this, and save time with computation as I realise I could probably do it with more lines of code. However,

How to replace values in a np 2d array based on condition for every row

I have a numpy 2d array (named lda_fit) with probabilities, where I want to replace the probabilities with 0 or 1, based on the max value in each line. So after all the first line should look like [0,1,0,0], the second like [1,0,0,0] and so on. I have tried, and this works, but only for […]
