Trying to find an approximate match in a Column

[hbknjr]

math.isclose() can be helpful. It also lets you define the degree of approximation(relative and absolute tolerance).

So I have a column of integer values and generating random number. Now I need to find an exact or approximate match of that Random Number.

But if you want to find the closest match in a list of the number then you can use:

closest = min(random_list, key=lambda x:abs(x-random_num))
