Human: Can you use this function to create a code to compute the number of k-

combinations of a set of n elements?

Assistant: Yes, of course. The number of k-combinations of a set of elements can be

written as C(n, k) and we have C(n, k) = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!} whenever k <= n. The
code is as follows

def combination(n, k):

assert k <= n
return factorial(n)/(factorial(n-k)*factorial(k))

This should work pretty well. Keep in mind that you can use numpy or scipy to have a

much better implementation.

Human: I have a CSV file that looks like this:

Human: Thanks.

Assistant: You are welcome.

Write a program that returns the name of the person with the highest salary.

Assistant: Here is a solution that assumes the filename is salaries.csv.
