Merge two functions to one

[SamLiu]

Hi all,
I want to compare with the limit and assign different text colors as below two functions.
How to merge two functions(compared_Sens & compared_Noise) to one function apply to all different limits?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49

import pandas as pd import numpy as np     sens_delta_check=[ -0.07,-0.13,-0.16,-0.08,-0.11,-0.12,-0.04, -0.06,-0.08,-0.03,0,0,-0.05,-0.01, -0.01,-0.11,-0.05,-0.08,-0.04,-0.06,0.01, -0.17,-0.07,-0.06,-0.14,-0.07,-0.1,-0.05, 0.03,-0.1,-0.05,-0.1,-0.15,0.02,-0.03 ]     noise_check=[-104.09,-103.99,-104.09,-103.87,-104.05,-104,-103.98, -103.97,-103.93,-103.99,-103.93,-104.01,-103.98,-103.97, -103.86,-103.93,-104.02,-104.1,-103.97,-103.96,-104, -103.94,-104.01,-104,-103.95,-103.99,-103.97,-103.97, -103.99,-104,-104.04,-103.97,-103.96,-103.95,-103.95]   def compared_Sens(val,limit1,limit2,limit3):   # 0.3,0.2,0.1     if np.abs(val)>limit1:         text_color='Dark Red'     elif np.abs(val)>limit2:         text_color='Red'     elif np.abs(val)>limit3:         text_color = 'orange'     elif pd.isnull(val):         text_color='White'     else:         text_color='Green'     return text_color     def compared_Noise(val,limit1,limit2,limit3):    #  103.2,102.5,102     if np.abs(val)>limit1:         text_color='green'     elif np.abs(val)>limit2:         text_color='orange'     elif np.abs(val)>limit3:         text_color = 'red'     elif pd.isnull(val):         text_color='White'     else:         text_color='dark red'     return text_color     print(compared_Sens(sens_delta_check,0.3,0.2,0.1) print(compared_Noise(noise_check,103.2,102.5,102)

Maybe you should provide some examples of an input value, how you would process the value, and what the result should be. I am not seeing how the two existing functions are related.

I appreciate your prompt reply to this.
You can see two functions parameters are same, only difference is compare condition such in compared_Sens if val greater than limit1 text_color equal to dark red and greater than limit2 text_color equal to red, greater than limit3 text_color equal to orange, less than limit3 text_color equal to green. But the compared_Noise function compare condition is the same the text_color assign value is the opposite.

How to use one function with two conditions, this is what I want.

Thanks in advance!

Are you trying to make a generic function that could be used to get a color for the sensor check of the noise check by just passing different parameters?

Like this?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

from random import randint     def heat_map(value, map_, null_color="white"):     if value is None:         return null_color     for level, color in map_.items():         if value <= level:             return color     return color     colors = {     -4: "red",     -3: "orange",     -2: "yellow",     1: "green",     2: "yellow",     3: "orange",     4: "red", }   for _ in range(20):     value = randint(-5, 5)     print(value, heat_map(value, colors))

It's very useful, thanks for your output.
