I am using a csv file and trying to take information to make a graph. Everything looks right until I try to plot the scatter plot and it gives me the error that it couldn't convert string to float.
matrix=[]
doors= []
import csv
with open('9car.data.csv') as csvfile:
M=csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',')
for row in M:
rowlist= [x for x in row]
matrix.append(rowlist)
for index in range(len(matrix)):
if (index==0):
pass
else:
doors.append((matrix[index][2]))
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from math import *
import numpy as np
from numpy import *
n=1
a=np.arange(0,len(doors),n)
y=[doors[int(x)] for x in a ]
plt.scatter(a,y)
plt.show()
I don't know python
but I know CSV and programming and I will bet that you have values like 1,234.05
in your CSV file, where the python code does not like the comma... You may have to pre-process your CSV values, by replacing commas with nothing (removing the commas) to get it to parse the string properly into a float.
Post your exact error circumstances and I will review my answer. For example, in Sweden the number 1234.05 would be expressed as text as 1 234,05
- so you can see the parsing problems with multilingual data
