Solution

To find the highest number in a DataFrame for different stocks in Python, you can use the max() function. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. First, import the necessary libraries. You'll need pandas to work with DataFrames.
import pandas as pd
  1. Next, create or load your DataFrame. For this example, let's assume you have a DataFrame df with stock prices.
df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Stock1': [100, 200, 150, 300],
    'Stock2': [50, 250, 350, 100],
    'Stock3': [400, 200, 100, 50]
})
  1. Use the max() function to find the highest number in each column (which represents a different stock in this case).
max_values = df.max()

The max_values variable will now hold a Series with the maximum value for each stock. If you want to find the overall maximum value, you can call max() on this Series:

overall_max = max_values.max()

This will give you the highest stock price across all stocks.
