General FAQ’s
1. I got an error while running the below command to generate a series. Please help
me to resolve this error.
Ans: Please note that python is case-sensitive. Here you have used small “s” to call a
series. Please use pd.Series([1,2,3,4,5]) in-place of pd.series(([1,2,3,4,5]) in your
code and it will work fine.

2. Getting the below error while reading a csv file into Jupyter Notebook. Please help
me to resolve this issue.
Ans: Every file has some location where it is stored, we call it a pathname. So for
example, you have downloaded iris.csv. Now, it is in the downloads folder, however if
you want to read it in a Jupyter notebook you have to specify the complete path. Below
is the example for your reference:
Step 1:
To get the path of the file, Right click on the file name as shown below:

Step 3:
Copy the path shown in front of location, & write filename with excel as shown below:
C:\Users\Downloads\Automobile.csv – this is the path of the file in my system.
However, in jupyter notebook we have to change the backslash to forward slash to read the file,
hence you have to write:
C:/Users/Downloads/ Automobile.csv
Finally you have to write the below mentioned code:
Import pandas as pd
Iris=pd.read_csv(“C:/Users/Downloads/ Automobile.csv”) # CSV file
Incase of Excel file, try using line of code mentioned below:
Iris_new=pd.read_excel(r’C:/Users/Downloads/iris.xlsx’) # Excel file

Change the current working directory
(set the path where your dataset is saved/downloaded)
import os
#set the directory path
os.chdir("path name as mentioned above without filename")
[email protected]X9IMGDQ0PO
#for example
os.chdir(“C:/Users/Downloads”)
this will become our default working directory now
# this will show the path of the directory, recently set
print("Current Working Directory " , os.getcwd())
# Next time whenever we want to read any dataset, just type
# read the dataset
df=pd.read_csv(“filename.csv”)
## for example
pd=df.read_csv(“Automobile.csv”)
