Separate numerical and categorical columns
In the last exercise, you have explored the dataset characteristics and are ready to do some data pre-processing. You will now separate categorical and numerical variables from the telco_raw DataFrame with a customized categorical vs. numerical unique value count threshold. The pandas module has been loaded for you as pd.
The raw telecom churn dataset telco_raw has been loaded for you as a pandas DataFrame. You can familiarize with the dataset by exploring it in the console.
