This question already has an answer here:



  • Applying a lower bound threshold on a list

    3 answers



I have a list



a = 1, 8, 0, 6, 5, 3, 5, 2, 2, 5


I want to generate a new list whose elements are the same of a if it's bigger than 5, or 5 elsewhere.
I managed to achieve this using Map and a pure function doing



Map[(Max[#, 5]) &, a]


but this looks a bit clumsy to me. Is there a better way?



EDIT: I found this solution



a /. x_ /; x < 5 -> 5


but I cannot really understand why is working. Could someone give an insight into it?



Thanks

    Why not Max[#, 5] & /@ a ?

You can use Clip or Ramp:



Clip[a, 5, ∞]



5, 8, 5, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5




5 + Ramp[a - 5]



5, 8, 5, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
