compute value based on condition of existing column dataframe
# create a list of our conditions
conditions = [
(df['likes_count'] <= 2),
(df['likes_count'] > 2) & (df['likes_count'] <= 9),
(df['likes_count'] > 9) & (df['likes_count'] <= 15),
(df['likes_count'] > 15)
]
# create a list of the values we want to assign for each condition
values = ['tier_4', 'tier_3', 'tier_2', 'tier_1']
# create a new column and use np.select to assign values to it using our lists as arguments
df['tier'] = np.select(conditions, values)
# display updated DataFrame
df.head()
