Conditionally update values in a pandas dataframe while moving across successive columns

I have a pandas DataFrame of membership records that contains some entry errors (see table below for a few examples). Some members were incorrectly identified as "Joined" when they were in fact "Renewal" and/or listed as "Joined" multiple times. I want to correct these errors by turning "Joined" into "Renewal" and vice-verse as appropirate based on the column year.

MemTransType2009 MemTransType2010 MemTransType2011 MemTransType2012 MemTransType2013 MemTransType2014 MemTransType2015
NaN NaN Joined Renewal Renewal Joined Renewal
NaN Joined Renewal NaN Joined Renewal Renewal
Joined Renewal Renewal Renewal Renewal Renewal Renewal
NaN NaN Renewal Joined Renewal Renewal NaN

Using np.where and a loop that updates the row I can make corrections column by column. For example:

Years = ['MemTransType2009', 'MemTransType2010', 'MemTransType2011', 'MemTransType2012', 'MemTransType2013', 'MemTransType2014', 'MemTransType2015']

for col in df[Years[1:]]:
    df[col] = np.where(((df[Years[0]] == 'Joined') & (df[col] == 'Joined')), 'Renewal', df[col])

for col in TEST[Years[2:]]:
    df[col] = np.where(((df[Years[1]] == 'Joined') & (df[col] == 'Joined')), 'Renewal', df[col])

etc...

will get rid of any duplicating "Joined", but I'm not skilled enough to do it for all columns at once. Right now I'm manually updating for each successive column.

I've tried several variations of a more complex loop but I get no response, an error, or accidently overwrite all the data.

For example,

Years = ['MemTransType2009', 'MemTransType2010', 'MemTransType2011', 'MemTransType2012', 'MemTransType2013', 'MemTransType2014', 'MemTransType2015']

for x in range(len(Years)):
    for col in df[Years[x+1]]:
        df[col] = np.where(((df[Years[x]] == 'Joined') & (df[col] == 'Joined')), 'Renewal', df[col])

Because I have to move forward in time, I believe I need to take the columns sequentially. Is there a way to update the records en masse where values associated with the first column are checked initially and then move on to the next column? Or is there alternative approach?

Thank you for any suggestions / examples.

The number of nodes and edges I calculated manually and by a method provided by networkx library dont match

I am trying to analyse a graph using networkx library in Python. I have implemented a function that returns the nodes and edges of that graph. After that I counted the number of nodes and edges by implementing the len() function for nodes and edges, which gave me 17 for both nodes and edges. However, when I used the method graph.number_of_nodes() of networkx library it gave me 53. My code: import pandas as pd import networkx as nx import matplotlib.pyplot as plt header_list = ["a","b","w"] E =pd.read_csv("aves-barn-swallow-contact-network.edges",sep=" ",header= None,names=header_list) # print(E.head()) # prints first few rows of the csv file G = nx.from_pandas_edgelist(E,"a","b",["w"]) nx.draw(G) plt.show() class GraphAnalyse: #finding nodes and edges def nodeEdge(self,Graph): nodes = Graph.nodes() edges = Graph.edges() ...
