What am I doing wrong here?
I cannot add a path to my Jupyter Notebook. I am stuck. Any of my attempts did not work at all.
home_dir="\C:\Users\User\Desktop\"
data_dir=home_dir + "\C:\Users\User\Desktop\A Student's Guide to Python for Physical Modeling by KInder and Nelson\code"
data_set=np.loadtxt(data_dir + "HIVseries.csv", delimiter=',')
It's easy question, modify \C:\Users\User\Desktop\A Student's Guide to Python for Physical Modeling by KInder and Nelson\code to C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\A Student's Guide to Python for Physical Modeling by KInder and Nelson\\code.
Change the second line of your code as:
home_dir = "\C:\Users\User\Desktop\"
data_dir = home_dir + "A Student's Guide to Python for Physical Modeling by KInder and Nelson\code"
data_set = np.loadtxt(data_dir + "HIVseries.csv", delimiter=',')
Your code adds the home directory to the data directory. You don't to include the home again. Just providing the relative path would work.
What you were doing would make data_dir equal to \C:\Users\User\Desktop\\C:\Users\User\Desktop\A Student's Guide to Python for Physical Modeling by KInder and Nelson\code which is not a valid path.
\C:\Users\User\Desktop\A Student's Guide to Python for Physical Modeling by KInder and Nelson\codeis an absolute file path, adding another root dir prefix makes it invalid.
