Pandas: Find the row for where the value of a given column is maximum
Pandas: DataFrame Exercise-45 with Solution
Write a Pandas program to find the row for where the value of a given column is maximum.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
d = {'col1': [1, 2, 3, 4, 7], 'col2': [4, 5, 6, 9, 5], 'col3': [7, 8, 12, 1, 11]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
print("Original DataFrame")
print(df)
print("Row where col1 has maximum value:")
print(df['col1'].argmax())
print("Row where col2 has maximum value:")
print(df['col2'].argmax())
print("Row where col3 has maximum value:")
print(df['col3'].argmax())
Sample Output:
Original DataFrame col1 col2 col3 0 1 4 7 1 2 5 8 2 3 6 12 3 4 9 1 4 7 5 11 Row where col1 has maximum value: 4 Row where col2 has maximum value: 3 Row where col3 has maximum value: 2
