Exercise

CSV to DataFrame (2)

Your read_csv() call to import the CSV data didn't generate an error, but the output is not entirely what we wanted. The row labels were imported as another column without a name.

Remember index_col, an argument of read_csv(), that you can use to specify which column in the CSV file should be used as a row label? Well, that's exactly what you need here!

Python code that solves the previous exercise is already included; can you make the appropriate changes to fix the data import?

Instructions

  • Run the code with Run Code and assert that the first column should actually be used as row labels.
  • Specify the index_col argument inside pd.read_csv(): set it to 0, so that the first column is used as row labels.
