# pandas.Series.case_when

Series.case_when(caselist)

  Replace values where the conditions are True.

  Added in version 2.2.0.

  Parameters:
    caselist A list of tuples of conditions and expected replacements

      Takes the form: `(condition0, replacement0)`, `(condition1, replacement1)`, … . `condition` should be a 1-D boolean array-like object or a callable. If `condition` is a callable, it is computed on the Series and should return a boolean Series or array. The callable must not change the input Series (though pandas doesn`t check it). `replacement` should be a 1-D array-like object, a scalar or a callable. If `replacement` is a callable, it is computed on the Series and should return a scalar or Series. The callable must not change the input Series (though pandas doesn`t check it).

  Returns:
    Series

      A new Series with values replaced based on the provided conditions.

  `Series.mask`

    Replace values where the condition is True.

  Examples

      >>> c = pd.Series([6, 7, 8, 9], name="c")
      >>> a = pd.Series([0, 0, 1, 2])
      >>> b = pd.Series([0, 3, 4, 5])

      >>> c.case_when(
      ...     caselist=[
      ...         (a.gt(0), a),  # condition, replacement
      ...         (b.gt(0), b),
      ...     ]
      ... )
      0    6
      1    3
      2    1
      3    2
