Baby Names Solution¶
babynames.value_counts().loc[['Chad', 'Ruger', 'Zeltron']]
# Chad 4
# Ruger 7
# Zeltron 3
# dtype: Int64
Explanation¶
The trick here is to use the Series
value_counts()
method to get the count of each unique element in the Series.
babynames.value_counts()
# Ruger 7
# Phreddy 4
# Chad 4
# Jathonathon 3
# Zeltron 3
# Ryan 3
# Mister 1
# dtype: Int64
This results in another Series, so we can chain it with .loc passing in a list of the indices we want to retrieve.
babynames.value_counts().loc[['Chad', 'Ruger', 'Zeltron']]
# Chad 4
# Ruger 7
# Zeltron 3
# dtype: Int64
