if else function in pandas dataframe [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use pandas.Series.where

df.assign(age3=(df.age1 - df.age2).where(df.age1 > df.age2, 0))

   age1  age2  age3
0    23    10    13
1    45    20    25
2    21    50     0

You can wrap this in a function

def my_fun(v1, v2):
    return v1.sub(v2).where(v1 > v2, 0)

df.assign(age3=my_fun(df.age1, df.age2))

   age1  age2  age3
0    23    10    13
1    45    20    25
2    21    50     0
