I am having an error in reading a csv file

#1

I just downloaded the file to the desktop and tried to give the file location and running but it gives me the error “‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xda in position 18: invalid continuation byte” and sometimes file does not exist error

Hi,
Make sure you downloaded the file properly.
And keep the csv files together where the ipynb in a same folder.

X = pd.read_csv("./xdata.csv")
./ means the current directory, so it will search for the file in current directory.

Still if this error persists, do attach a screenshot of the error where you are trying to read the file.
