Show Answer Hide Answer
Question No. 3

The code block shown below should return all rows of DataFrame itemsDf that have at least 3 items in column itemNameElements. Choose the answer that correctly fills the blanks in the code block

to accomplish this.

Example of DataFrame itemsDf:

1. +------+----------------------------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------+

2. |itemId|itemName |supplier |itemNameElements |

3. +------+----------------------------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------+

4. |1 |Thick Coat for Walking in the Snow|Sports Company Inc.|[Thick, Coat, for, Walking, in, the, Snow]|

5. |2 |Elegant Outdoors Summer Dress |YetiX |[Elegant, Outdoors, Summer, Dress] |

6. |3 |Outdoors Backpack |Sports Company Inc.|[Outdoors, Backpack] |

7. +------+----------------------------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------+

Code block:

itemsDf.__1__(__2__(__3__)__4__)

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

Correct code block:

itemsDf.filter(size('itemNameElements')>3)

Output of code block:

+------+----------------------------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------+

|itemId|itemName |supplier |itemNameElements |

+------+----------------------------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------+

|1 |Thick Coat for Walking in the Snow|Sports Company Inc.|[Thick, Coat, for, Walking, in, the, Snow]|

|2 |Elegant Outdoors Summer Dress |YetiX |[Elegant, Outdoors, Summer, Dress] |

+------+----------------------------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------+

The big difficulty with this Question: is in knowing the difference between count and size (refer to documentation below). size is the correct function to choose here since it returns the number

of elements in an array on a per-row basis.

The other consideration for solving this Question: is the difference between select and filter. Since we want to return the rows in the original DataFrame, filter is the right choice. If we would

use select, we would simply get a single-column DataFrame showing which rows match the criteria, like so:

+----------------------------+

|(size(itemNameElements) > 3)|

+----------------------------+

|true |

|true |

|false |

+----------------------------+

Question No. 4

Which of the following code blocks produces the following output, given DataFrame transactionsDf?

Output:

1. root

2. |-- transactionId: integer (nullable = true)

3. |-- predError: integer (nullable = true)

4. |-- value: integer (nullable = true)

5. |-- storeId: integer (nullable = true)

6. |-- productId: integer (nullable = true)

7. |-- f: integer (nullable = true)

DataFrame transactionsDf:

1. +-------------+---------+-----+-------+---------+----+

2. |transactionId|predError|value|storeId|productId| f|

3. +-------------+---------+-----+-------+---------+----+

4. | 1| 3| 4| 25| 1|null|

5. | 2| 6| 7| 2| 2|null|

6. | 3| 3| null| 25| 3|null|

7. +-------------+---------+-----+-------+---------+----+

Correct Answer: D

The output is the typical output of a DataFrame.printSchema() call. The DataFrame's RDD representation does not have a printSchema or formatSchema method (find available methods in the RDD

documentation linked below). The output of print(transactionsDf.schema) is this: StructType(List(StructField(transactionId,IntegerType,true),StructField(predError,IntegerType,true),StructField

(value,IntegerType,true),StructField(storeId,IntegerType,true),StructField(productId,IntegerType,true),StructField(f,IntegerType,true))). It includes the same information as the nicely formatted original

output, but is not nicely formatted itself. Lastly, the DataFrame's schema attribute does not have a print() method.

Question No. 5

Which of the following code blocks returns a copy of DataFrame transactionsDf that only includes columns transactionId, storeId, productId and f?

Sample of DataFrame transactionsDf:

1. +-------------+---------+-----+-------+---------+----+

2. |transactionId|predError|value|storeId|productId| f|

3. +-------------+---------+-----+-------+---------+----+

4. | 1| 3| 4| 25| 1|null|

5. | 2| 6| 7| 2| 2|null|

6. | 3| 3| null| 25| 3|null|

7. +-------------+---------+-----+-------+---------+----+

Output of correct code block:

+-------------+-------+---------+----+

|transactionId|storeId|productId| f|

+-------------+-------+---------+----+

| 1| 25| 1|null|

| 2| 2| 2|null|

| 3| 25| 3|null|

+-------------+-------+---------+----+

To solve this question, you should be fmailiar with the drop() API. The order of column names does not matter -- in this Question: the order differs in some answers just to confuse you. Also,

drop() does not take a list. The *cols operator in the documentation means that all arguments passed to drop() are interpreted as column names.
