Calculating sum of values in dataframe column

To calculate the sum of values in a dataframe column in Python, simply use the sum() function on the column. In the example given, the sum of values in column 'C' would be 24.

Problem

Given a dataframe with three columns, write a code to calculate the sum of the values in the third column.
Input:
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [4, 5, 6], 'C': [7, 8, 9]})
Output:
24

# Solution:

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [4, 5, 6], 'C': [7, 8, 9]})

# The optimal solution is to use the sum() function on the third column of the dataframe.

df['C'].sum()

# This is optimal because it is the most efficient way to calculate the sum of the values in the third column.
