To summarize the previous three chapters, here is a table showing what **encoder** you should use:

In this challenge, you work with the **penguins dataset** (no missing values). All categorical features — including the target `'species'` — must be encoded for ML use.

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/a65bbc96-309e-4df9-a790-a1eb8c815a1c/penguins_imputed.csv')

print(df.head())

Keep in mind that `'island'` and `'sex'` are categorical **features** and `'species'` is a categorical **target**.
