Solutions

Solution 1: Direct Calculation

We can directly calculate the double of salary and then store the result in the bonus column.

The time complexity is $O(1)$, and the space complexity is $O(1)$.

Python3

import pandas as pd


def createBonusColumn(employees: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
    employees['bonus'] = employees['salary'] * 2
    return employees
