You can also write these two lines of code at the top of your file:

import os
os.chdir(os.path.dirname(__file__))

This will change your working directory to the correct path, whatever it was initially.

That's probably because you don't have the file in the exact folder as your code file. Try keeping them both in the same folder and try this:

import pandas as pd
iris_df = pd.read_csv('./iris.csv')

Or you can also try copying the exact path to your iris.csv file and then load it using:

iris_df = pd.read_csv(' #path to your iris.csv  file')

For relative path the ./iris.csv tells the function to look in the same folder as that of the code file for the iris.csv file. This however won't work if your iris.csv file is in another folder. In that case: If you are on a Linux based system your exact path would be something like:

home/usr/Desktop/FolderName/iris.csv

For a Windows system the absolute path would be something like:

C:/Desktop/FolderName/iris.csv
