data = {'name' : ['bill', 'joe', 'steve'],
'test1' : [85, 75, 85],
'test2' : [35, 45, 83],
'test3' : [51, 61, 45]}
frame = pd.DataFrame(data)
I would like to add a new column that shows the max value for each row.
desired output:
name test1 test2 test3 HighScore
bill 75 75 85 85
joe 35 45 83 83
steve 51 61 45 61
Sometimes
frame['HighScore'] = max(data['test1'], data['test2'], data['test3'])
works but most of the time gives this error:
ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()
Why does it only work sometimes? Is there another way of doing it?
