Reading CSV files with Pandas is quite straightforward. Here's how you can do it:
import pandas as pd
pd.read_csv()
function to read the CSV file into a DataFrame.# Syntax: # df= pd.read_csv('file_path') # Example: df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
You can also specify various parameters within the read_csv()
function to handle different situations:
sep
: Specify the delimiter used in the CSV file. Default is ','.header
: Specify which row to use as column names. Default is 0 (the first row).index_col
: Specify which column to use as the index. Default is None.dtype
: Specify data types for columns. Default is None.skiprows
: Skip specific rows while reading the file.nrows
: Read a specific number of rows from the beginning.skipfooter
: Skip specific number of lines at the end of the file.For example:
# Reading a CSV file with a different delimiter and skipping the first row df = pd.read_csv('data.csv', sep=';', header=1)
Make sure to replace 'data.csv'
with the path to your CSV file.
