hi ! I have some doubts. I think earlier it was said that - We can't directly cast strings to integers. We can go through floats (string-> float -> integer). but here in the video , the data is directly converted to integers. Why I'm getting the value error ? please check the screenshot of jupyter notebook attached below

In your string array there is 'Sep' which cannot be converted to an integer, and also I think they meant that we can't always cast strings into integers, we only can cast them into integers when we are sure that we don"t have any non-numeric character in he string.
