Pandas function dataframe.replace() is used to replace list , Python .

Syntax: DataFrame.replace (to_replace = None, value = None, inplace = False, limit = None, regex = False, method = `pad`, axis = None)

Parameters:
to_replace: [str, regex, list, dict, Series, numeric, or None] pattern that we are trying to replace in dataframe.
value: Value to use to fill holes (eg 0), alternately a dict of values ​​specifying which value to use for each column (columns not in the dict will not be filled). Regular expressions, strings and lists or dicts of such objects are also allowed.
inplace: If True, in place. Note: this will modify any other views on this object (eg a column from a DataFrame). Returns the caller if this is True.
limit: Maximum size gap to forward or backward fill
regex: Whether to interpret to_replace and / or value as regular expressions. If this is True then to_replace must be a string. Otherwise, to_replace must be None because this parameter will be interpreted as a regular expression or a list, dict, or array of regular expressions.
method: Method to use when for replacement, when to_replace is a list.

Returns: filled: NDFrame

Example # 1: replace the Boston Celtics command to the Omega Warrior in nba.csv

# import pandas as pd import pandas as pd   # Create data frame from CSV file df = pd.read_csv ( "nba.csv" )   # Print the first 10 lines of the data frame for rendering df [: 10 ]

Exit:

We`re going to replace the Boston Celtics command with Omega Warrior in the df data frame

# this will replace the "Boston Celtics" to & quot; Omega Warrior & quot; df.replace (to_replace = "Boston Celtics" , value = "Omega Warrior" )

Exit:

Example # 2: Replacing more than one value at a time ... Using Python List as Argument

We`re going to replace Boston Celtics and Texas with Omega Warrior in the df data frame.

# import pandas as pd import pandas as pd   # Create a data frame from a CSV file df = pd.read_csv ( "nba.csv" )   # this will replace the Boston Celtics and & quot; Texas & quot; to & quot; Omega Warrior & quot; df.replace (to_replace = [ "Boston Celtics" , "Texas" ],  value = "Omega Warrior" )

Output:

Notice the College column in the first row: Texas has been replaced by Omega Warriors.

Example # 3: replace the Nan value in the data frame with -99999.

# import pandas as pd import pandas as pd   # Create a data frame from a CSV file df = pd.read_csv ( "nba.csv" )   # replaces the Nan value in the dataframe with -99999 df .replace (to_replace = np.nan, value = - 99999 )

Output:

Note that all Nan values ​​in the data frame have been replaced with -99999. Although for practical purposes, we have to be careful what value we replace with nan .
