PandasdrillTop three earners
A pandas exercise from Pandasdrill. Solve it with a Python editor in your browser running real pandas, and it is checked the moment you submit.
The task
Return the three highest-paid employees with only the `name` and `salary` columns, highest salary first.
What this exercise teaches
nlargest(3, "salary") returns the three rows with the largest salaries in descending order. head(3) without sorting just takes whatever rows happen to come first.
A hint if you get stuck
nlargest(n, column) sorts and takes the top n in one step. head alone only takes the first rows as they are.
