Summary  
Demonstrates how to use pandas’ max() and min() methods to retrieve the highest and lowest values from an entire DataFrame or from a specific column.  

General domain of usage  
Data analysis

`pandas` provides the `max()` method, which returns the **highest value** from a dataset.

```python
df = pd.read_csv(file.csv)
max_value = df.max()
```

To identify the highest value of a specific column, you can use this approach:
```python
df = pd.read_csv(file.csv)
max_values = df['column_name'].max()
```

Similarly, `pandas` offers the `min()` method that fetches the **smallest value** from a dataset.
```python
df = pd.read_csv(file.csv)
min_value = df.min()
```

To determine the smallest value for a particular column, the same method is used:
```python
df = pd.read_csv(file.csv)
min_values = df['column_name'].min()
```
