Exercise

Traversing a DataFrame

Let's iterate through a DataFrame! You are given the heroes DataFrame you're already familiar with. This time, it contains only categorical data and no missing values. You have to create the following dictionary from this dataset:

  • Each key is a column name.
  • Each value is another dictionary:
    • Each key is a unique category from the column.
    • Each value is the amount of heroes falling into this category.

Tip: a Series object is also an Iterable. It traverses through the values it stores when you put it in a for loop or pass it to list(), tuple(), or set() initializers.
