Label unknown categories, keep missing numbers missing · Python (pandas)
Task: the rules
Input visits(id, region, duration_min) — text. id is unique. Rules region: remove ASCII whitespace at both ends; an empty result is missing; then a missing region becomes the label "unknown" (the report groups by region and needs a bucket for it). duration_min: remove ASCII whitespace at both ends; an empty result is missing; convert to a whole number. A missing duration stays missing. Never fill it with 0 or any other number. Every duration that is present is a valid whole number. Output (row order does not matter) clean(id text, region text, duration_min int64)
Tab inserts spaces. Press Escape, then Tab, to move focus out of the editor.
