DataFrame students
+-------------+--------+
| Column Name | Type |
+-------------+--------+
| student_id | int |
| name | object |
| age | int |
| grade | float |
+-------------+--------+
Write a solution to correct the errors:
The grade column is stored as floats, convert it to integers.
The result format is in the following example.
Example 1: Input: DataFrame students: +------------+------+-----+-------+ | student_id | name | age | grade | +------------+------+-----+-------+ | 1 | Ava | 6 | 73.0 | | 2 | Kate | 15 | 87.0 | +------------+------+-----+-------+ Output: +------------+------+-----+-------+ | student_id | name | age | grade | +------------+------+-----+-------+ | 1 | Ava | 6 | 73 | | 2 | Kate | 15 | 87 | +------------+------+-----+-------+ Explanation: The data types of the column grade is converted to int.
In this approach, we use the standard data handling libraries or frameworks provided by each language to manipulate the DataFrame. This generally involves directly converting the column data type from float to int.
This Python code uses pandas, a popular library for data manipulation. The 'astype' method is used to convert the 'grade' column to integer type, thereby eliminating the decimal part.
C#

C
Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of elements in the DataFrame.
Space Complexity: O(1), as it modifies the DataFrame in place.
This approach involves manually iterating over the data structure (for example, an array or list) and converting each 'grade' entry from a float or double to an integer representation. It's a more generalized approach and less dependent on specific data manipulation libraries.
This code demonstrates how to manually iterate over a list of dictionaries in Python, converting the 'grade' field of each dictionary to an integer.
C
JavaScript
Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of dictionaries.
Space Complexity: O(1), due to in-place updates.
| Approach | Complexity |
|---|---|
| Approach 1: Using DataFrame Libraries | Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of elements in the DataFrame. |
| Approach 2: Manual Iteration and Conversion | Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of dictionaries. |
