Exercise: Reading Auto MPG Dataset
This lesson provides an exercise to test your understanding of reading a dataset using Pandas.
We'll cover the following
Reading the dataset
As an exercise, read Auto MPG Dataset. In this documentation, you will find the Attribute Information which lists the column names. Fill whitespace with _
in columns’ names.
Click Data Folder and then download the file auto-mpg.data. The task is fairly simple, you just have to read the dataset, and return its shape.
This file is whitespace delimited, so you will need to review the Pandas
documentation for the delim_whitespace
parameter.
Note: To read the dataset use auto-mpg.data file name.
Try to implement the function below. Feel free to view the solution, after giving it a few shots. Good Luck!
