Activity 7.01: Finding Out Highly Rated Strategy Games

Solution:

1. Load the numpy and pandas libraries as follows:

   import pandas as pd
   import numpy as np

2. Load the strategy games dataset (in the dataset folder of the chapter):

   games = pd.read_csv('../data/appstore_games.csv')

   Note

   You can download the dataset from the GitHub repository at https://packt.live/2O1hv2B.

3. Perform all the transformations we did in the first section of the chapter. Change the names of the variables:

   original_colums_dict = {x: x.lower().replace(' ','_') \
                           for x in games.columns}
   games.rename(columns = original_colums_dict,\
                inplace = True)

4. Set the 'id' column as index:

   games.set_index(keys = 'id...
