Pandas with Python 2.7 Part 10 - Function Mapping
In this video we cover the notion of Function Mapping. Function mapping is not restricted to Pandas only. It is actually something that you can use in many cases. Function mapping, however, in the case of Pandas, will allow us to create our very own functions and pass them through Pandas as if it was a Part of Pandas. The downside here is that your efficiency in processing will be limited to how efficient you have written your code. If there is a way to do it in Pandas, you should try to do it with a tool they have provided to maintain speed, but, you can always use this method as a last resort to do exactly what you need.
