Question

My code looks like

import numpy as np
from numpy import genfromtxt

train = genfromtxt('/Users/hhimanshu/Downloads/dataset/digitrecognizer/train.csv',
                   delimiter=',', names=True)

and the train.csv has data like

label,pixel0,pixel1,pixel2,pixel3, .....
1,0,0,0, ...

when I do

train.names

I get

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-62-dea84e8fe1f5> in <module>()
      4 print 'size(Number of elements in array) = ', train.size
      5 # print 'data type = ', train.dtype
----> 6 train.names

AttributeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object has no attribute 'names'

Also the shape seem incorrect to me

shape(Tuple of array dimensions) =  (42000,)
dimension(Number of array dimensions) =  1
size(Number of elements in array) =  42000

I know that I have 785 columns and 2 dimensions(it says 1 here)

What is that I am not doing right?

Answer 1

My Bad,

ndarray has no attribute called names
I can refer columns as train['labels'] and get the data
