I am beginner in python and
I need to get the most common value of that column using code
I have next table from csv file:
| elements | value |
|---|---|
| 1 | y |
| 2 | y |
| 3 | y |
| 4 | n |
| 5 | n |
How I can get most common (common means that the count of y is 3, count of n is 2 , so common is y) ‘value’?
>Solution :
You can use count_values() and extract it from the result
df.value.value_counts(sort=True).index[0]
# 'y'
Just be careful what should happen if there are multiple ‘most common’ values.
