Pandas: Get the longest runtime and shortest runtime

Pandas: IMDb Movies Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to get the longest runtime and shortest runtime.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('movies_metadata.csv')
small_df = df[['title', 'runtime']]
run_time = small_df['runtime']
print(small_df)
print("===============================================")
print("Longest runtime")
print(run_time.max())
print("Shortest runtime")
print(run_time.min())

Sample Output:
