This piece of code is written in Python using the Polars library, which is a DataFrame library similar to pandas but optimized for performance and memory efficiency.

The code modifies all columns in a DataFrame (df) by transforming their values under certain conditions:

Step-by-step breakdown:

1. df.with_columns([...]): This modifies the DataFrame df by adding or replacing columns with the ones defined inside the list [ ... ].

2. List comprehension: A list comprehension is used to iterate over df.columns (i.e., all the column names in the DataFrame). For each column, the following operations are applied:

3. Condition check:

   • pl.col(column).is_not_null(): This checks if the value in the respective column is not NULL.
   • (pl.col(column) == datetonull): This checks if the value in the column is equal to a variable datetonull. This likely represents a specific value (e.g., a date/time) that indicates "missing" or invalid data.
   • pl.when(... & ...): Combines the two conditions with a logical "AND" (&). This means the replacement will occur only if both conditions are True.

4. Conditional replacement:

   • .then(pl.lit(np.nan)): If both conditions are satisfied, the value in the column is replaced with np.nan (likely to represent missing data using NumPy's NaN).
   • .otherwise(pl.col(column)): If the conditions are not met, the value in the column is left unchanged.

5. Alias for the column:

   • .alias(column): Ensures the transformed column retains the same name as the original column.

6. Result:

   • For each column, values are replaced with np.nan if they meet the two conditions:
     • The value is not null.
     • The value equals datetonull.
   • Otherwise, the original value is retained.

7. Final effect on df: The DataFrame df is updated so that any values equal to datetonull (and not null) in any column are replaced with np.nan.

Summary:

This code replaces certain values in all columns of a Polars DataFrame (df) with np.nan where the values meet these specific conditions:

• They are not null.
• They are equal to datetonull.
