Change the path in the code to point to the location of 'data.csv'( data file). You can either use an absolute path or a relative path.

[turkialjrees]

use a raw string such as :

r"C:\Users\Mainuser\Desktop\Lab6"

or using

os.path.join to construct your path instead:

os.path.join("c:", os.sep, "Users", "Mainuser", "Desktop", "Lab6")

os.path.join is the safest and most portable choice. As long as you have "c:" hardcoded in the path it's not really portable, but it's still the best practice and a good habit to develop.

With a tip of the hat to Python os.path.join on Windows for the correct way to produce c:\Users rather than c:Users.
