Coding Questions

Instructions:
Running a coding exercise for the first time, could take a bit of time for everything to load. Be patient, it could take a few minutes.

When you see ____ in a coding exercise, replace it with what you assume to be the correct code. Run it and see if you obtain the desired output. Submit your code to validate if you were correct.

This following code chunk will be used to give you an output of the data hockey_players. This will help answer and code in the exercises following it.

Practicing Rows Slicing

Using our hockey_players data from the last few questions, let’s try slicing it.

Tasks:
