Guided Project on Apps - error total number of cleaned data

Share
#1

Hi there,

I’m new to Jupyter Notebook and learning with the project about Android and iOS apps. When I want to clean the Android dataset from duplicates, I get the error ‘Index out of range’:

IndexError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
9 already_added.append(name)
10
—> 11 explore_data(android_cleaned, 0, 3, True)

in explore_data(dataset, start, end, rows_and_columns)
7 if rows_and_columns:
8 print(‘Number of rows:’, len(dataset))
----> 9 print(‘Number of columns:’, len(dataset[0]))

IndexError: list index out of range

I used following code to separate the duplicates:

android_cleaned = []
already_added = [ ]

for app in android:
    name = app[0]
    n_reviews = float(app[3])
    if (reviews_max[name] == n_reviews) and (name not in already_added):
        android_cleaned.append(app)
        already_added.append(name)

explore_data(android_cleaned, 0, 3, True)

The explore function is as follows:

def explore_data(dataset, start, end, rows_and_columns=False):
    dataset_slice = dataset[start:end]    
    for row in dataset_slice:
        print(row)
        print('\n')

    if rows_and_columns:
        print('Number of rows:', len(dataset))
        print('Number of columns:', len(dataset[0]))

What am I doing wrong here??

Thanks a lot for your help!

Welcome to the community @Amaryllis.

It is really difficult to understand where the problem is from your code since you’ve wrongly outlined it. You can get assistance on how to use the markdown here Guide: Using Markdown

Also I hope the main error you are experiencing may be due to indentation, you can check for the solution to correct you code. Solution

Thanks for the tips! I hope my code is readable now.

Are you still experiencing the same challenge?

Yes, I have rerunned all my code and checked for spelling errors, but still obtain the same error. I can run the explore_data function on the Android dataset without any problem.
