#DataFrame.drop_duplicates
df.drop_duplicates(subset='column') #subset may be a list, it will drop duplicates of df. You may check more than one column with a list
df['column'].value_counts() #it will count each value on the column. sort=False (sort by descending order), normalize = False (normalize by the number of rows)
df.groupby('column')['column2'].agg(functions)
df.pivot_table(values='column1',index='column2',aggfunc=functions )

- Print the highest weekly sales for each
department
in thewalmart
DataFrame. Limit your results to the top five departments, in descending order. If you're stuck, try reviewing this video. - What was the total
nb_sold
of organic avocados in 2017 in theavocado
DataFrame? If you're stuck, try reviewing this video. - Create a bar plot of the total number of homeless people by region in the
homelessness
DataFrame. Order the bars in descending order. Bonus: create a horizontal bar chart. If you're stuck, try reviewing this video. - Create a line plot with two lines representing the temperatures in Toronto and Rome. Make sure to properly label your plot. Bonus: add a legend for the two lines. If you're stuck, try reviewing this video.
