Can you just define a lambda that takes an extra argument?

Actually my goal was to demonstrate how the map function can be used with standard functions that are not lambdas. If you think I should use a more complex example to show that, I could do so.

Can you just provide a built in function like round?

Thank you for the advice! I did just that, you can have a look.

Thanks. Looks like some code checks are failing in the CI

if x > y:
x = 2

elif x <= y:
x = 1

return x

>>> df.map(func, y=2.5)
0 1
0 1 1
1 2 2

Like Series.map, NA values can be ignored:

>>> df_copy = df.copy()
