Unable to convert comma separated integers and non-integer values in a series column in Python

I have an object column with amounts like 150,01 and 43,69. Thee are about 5,000 rows.

Naturally, I tried to convert the series into the locale format, which suppose to turn it into a float format. I came back with the following error:

ValueError: could not convert string to float: ' - '

Now that I'm aware that there are non-numeric values in the list, I tried to use isnumeric methods to turn the non-numeric values to become NaN.

Unfortunately, due to the comma separated structure, all the values would turn into -1.

How do I turn the "," values to "." by first removing the "-" values? I tried .drop() or .truncate it does not help. If I replace the str",", " ", it would also cause trouble since there is a non-integer value.

Please help!

Documentation that I came across Finding non-numeric rows in dataframe in pandas? Replace comma and dot in Pandas

ValueError: X has 10 features, but LinearRegression is expecting 1 features as input

So, I am trying to predict the model but its throwing error like it has 10 features but it expacts only 1. So I am confused can anyone help me with it? more importantly its not working for me when my friend runs it. It works perfectly fine dose anyone know the reason about it? cv = KFold(n_splits = 10) all_loss = [] for i in range(9): # 1st for loop over polynomial orders poly_order = i X_train = make_polynomial(x, poly_order) loss_at_order = [] # initiate a set to collect loss for CV for train_index, test_index in cv.split(X_train): print('TRAIN:', train_index, 'TEST:', test_index) X_train_cv, X_test_cv = X_train[train_index], X_test[test_index] t_train_cv, t_test_cv = t[train_index], t[test_index] reg.fit(X_train_cv, t_train_cv) loss_at_order.append(np.mean((t_test_cv - reg.predict(X_test_cv))**2)) # collect loss at fold all_loss.append(np.mean(loss_at_order)) # collect loss at order plt.plot(np.log(al...

Sorting large arrays of big numeric stings

I was solving bigSorting() problem from hackerrank: Consider an array of numeric strings where each string is a positive number with anywhere from to digits. Sort the array's elements in non-decreasing, or ascending order of their integer values and return the sorted array. I know it works as follows: def bigSorting(unsorted): return sorted(unsorted, key=int) But I didnt guess this approach earlier. Initially I tried below: def bigSorting(unsorted): int_unsorted = [int(i) for i in unsorted] int_sorted = sorted(int_unsorted) return [str(i) for i in int_sorted] However, for some of the test cases, it was showing time limit exceeded. Why is it so? PS: I dont know exactly what those test cases were as hacker rank does not reveal all test cases. source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73007397/sorting-large-arrays-of-big-numeric-stings
