Let's head over to our Jupyter notebook for an example. Now we know that ath is a data frame that is indexed by athlete, because we did this in the previous video. So let's reset the ath data frame, so that it is indexed by the integers. So ath.reset_index, and SHIFT and TAB to look at the options, and we see that we run into the same problem that we did with set_index where we need to specify that the inplace is true, if we want to do it to the ath data frame, or we can specify that inplace equals false, and then we need to set this data frame to another data frame. So let's say, inplace equals true. And we do an ath.head and here we expect the index to be back to the integer-based indices for our data frame. In the real world, you can often use the reset index, especially when you're trying to…
