B. Python Questions & Answers
Question 1:
You have a DataFrame called df_sales with columns Product_Name, Country, and
Price. Write a pandas code to find the name of the product with the highest price in
each country.
Answer:
df_sales.loc[df_sales.groupby('Country')['Price'].idxmax()]
Question 2:
You have two DataFrames: df_customer with columns Customer_id,
Customer_Name, and Registration_Date, and df_transaction with columns
Transaction_id, Customer_id, Transaction_Date, and Amount. Write a pandas code
to calculate the total transaction amount for each customer for the current year.
Answer:
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime
current_year = datetime.now().year
df_transaction['Transaction_Date'] =
pd.to_datetime(df_transaction['Transaction_Date'])
df_transaction_current_year =
df_transaction[df_transaction['Transaction_Date'].dt.year == current_year]
df_total =
df_transaction_current_year.groupby('Customer_id')['Amount'].sum().reset_index()
df_total = df_total.merge(df_customer[['Customer_id', 'Customer_Name']],
on='Customer_id')
Question 3:
You have a DataFrame df with columns Employee_ID, Employee_Name, and
Salary. Write pandas code to fetch the third highest salary using rank.
Answer:
df['Salary_Rank'] = df['Salary'].rank(method='dense', ascending=False)
df_third_highest_salary = df[df['Salary_Rank'] == 3]['Salary']
Question 4:
You have a DataFrame df with columns Transaction_ID, Customer_ID, and
Amount. Write a pandas code to calculate the average transaction amount for each
customer.
Answer:
df_avg = df.groupby('Customer_ID')['Amount'].mean().reset_index()
Question 5:
You have two DataFrames df1 and df2. Write pandas code to merge them on a
common column 'ID'.
Answer:
df_merged = pd.merge(df1, df2, on='ID')
