Update null elements with value in the same location in ‘other’.

Parameters:

other (Series) – The value(s) to be used for filling null values.

Series.combine

Perform element-wise operation on two Series using a given function.

Examples

>>> import maxframe.tensor as mt
>>> import maxframe.dataframe as md
>>> s1 = md.Series([1, mt.nan])
>>> s2 = md.Series([3, 4, 5])
>>> s1.combine_first(s2).execute()
0    1.0
1    4.0
2    5.0
dtype: float64

Null values still persist if the location of that null value does not exist in other

>>> s1 = md.Series({'falcon': mt.nan, 'eagle': 160.0})
>>> s2 = md.Series({'eagle': 200.0, 'duck': 30.0})
>>> s1.combine_first(s2).execute()
duck       30.0
eagle     160.0
falcon      NaN
dtype: float64
