Answer 1

Hi Falki, This error occurs because you are using a normal string as a path. You can use one of the three following solutions to fix your problem: 1: Just put r before your normal string it converts normal string to raw string:

pandas.read_csv(r'C:\Users\admin\Desktop\1.01.Simple_linear_regression.csv')

2: Alternatively, you need to inverse the slashes and write:

pandas.read_csv(C:/Users/admin/Desktop/1.01.Simple_linear_regression.csv')

Best, Iliya
