    Explanation: 
    A new column bonus is created by doubling the value in the column salary.

## Solution

### Method 1 – Using pandas DataFrame Assignment

#### Intuition

The key idea is to use pandas' ability to assign a new column directly to a DataFrame. By multiplying the `salary` column by 2, we efficiently create the `bonus` column.

#### Approach

1. The function receives a DataFrame `employees` with columns `name` and `salary`.
2. Assign a new column `bonus` as `employees["salary"] * 2`.
3. Return the modified DataFrame.

#### Code

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





        

        
        
         
        
        
    





#### Complexity

- ⏰ Time complexity: `O(n)`, where n is the number of rows in employees, as each row is processed once.
- 🧺 Space complexity: `O(n)`, for storing the new DataFrame.
