Explanation

Correct code block:

transactionsDf.filter(col('predError').isin([3, 6])).count()

The isin method is the correct one to use here – the in method does not exist for the Column object.

To solve this question, you need to know about explode(). This operation helps you to split up arrays into single rows. If you did not have a chance to familiarize yourself with this method yet, find

more examples in the documentation (link below).

Note that explode() is a method made available through pyspark.sql.functions – it is not available as a method of a DataFrame or a Column, as written in some of the answer options.

Explanation

Correct code block:

transactionsDf.select("storeId").printSchema()

The difficulty of this QUESTION NO: is that it is hard to solve with the stepwise first-to-last-gap approach that has worked well for similar questions, since the answer options are so different from

one

another. Instead, you might want to eliminate answers by looking for patterns of frequently wrong answers.

A first pattern that you may recognize by now is that column names are not expressed in quotes. For this reason, the answer that includes storeId should be eliminated.

By now, you may have understood that the DataFrame.limit() is useful for returning a specified amount of rows. It has nothing to do with specific columns. For this reason, the answer that resolves to

limit("storeId") can be eliminated.

Given that we are interested in information about the data type, you should QUESTION NO: whether the answer that resolves to limit(1).columns provides you with this information. While

DataFrame.columns is a valid call, it will only report back column names, but not column types. So, you can eliminate this option.

The two remaining options either use the printSchema() or print_schema() command. You may remember that DataFrame.printSchema() is the only valid command of the two. The select("storeId")

part just returns the storeId column of transactionsDf - this works here, since we are only interested in that column's type anyways.
