Directions: Extract the 14th column in "taxi_first_five" . Assign to "fare_totals"
My Code:
fare_totals= taxi_first_five- taxi_first_five[14]
What actually happened:
IndexError: index 14 is out of bounds for axis 0 with size 5
The correct answer is fare_totals = taxi_first_five[:,13]
but I don’t understand the logic of it. Can you please help me?
Hi alejandra.orcutt
The taxi_first_five
variable has the first 5 rows only. Hence, if you check the variable you could see that taxi_first_five
has 5 rows and 14 columns.
By taxi_first_five[14]
, you are trying to access the 13th row in taxi_first_five
, which doesn’t exist. That’s why you are getting the IndexError
.
This will assign all the rows in the 13th column of taxi_first_five
, which is the total_amount
column.
Is it clear now?
