Check the Column Type
If you can come across the column 'Fare'
, the numbers here are separated with the -
sign. It looks weird, doesn't it? We used to use .
as the separator, and Python can understand numbers separated only with dots. Let's check the type of this column. You can do so using the function .dtypes()
. Look at the example with the column 'Age'
.
Explanation:
The .dtypes
syntax is simple; you just apply it to the column or to the whole data set. In our case, the type is float64.
