Apply Max to each element of a list [duplicate]

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}

            Origin of the phrase “under your belt”?

            .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief).
