How to retrieve value from 0d array? (obtained with max())

[yohplala]

Hi,
This is probably a very newbie question, but max() returns a 0d numpy array.
I would like to get the result as an int (here), but I am unable to by using cell index.

import vaex as vx
li = [1, 199, 79]
vdf = vx.from_arrays(id = li)
max_id = vdf['id'].max()[0]

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-15-2c73f0975c81>", line 4, in <module>
    max_id = vdf['id'].max()[0]

IndexError: too many indices for array: array is 0-dimensional, but 1 were indexed

Please, what is the 'right' way of doing?

I can see it works by 'forcing' the array to int, but this approach appears to me a bit weird somehow.

max_id = int(vdf['id'].max())

Any advice is welcome! :)

Yeah, this is just numpy stuff. You can do what you want with .item(). Like this

df["my_column"].max().item()

Thanks, this does the trick!
