How can I read and manipulate the CSV file without a header?

95    Asked by ChloeBurgess in Python , Asked on Jan 2, 2024

I have been assigned to analyze a large dataset that is stored in a CSV file. However, this particular CSV file doesn’t include any headers for its columns. How can I use the pandas in Python programming language to read this particular CSV file without headers and even manipulate the data properly? 

Answered by Chloe Burgess

You can employ the “pandas read_csv no header()” function for reading the CSV file without headers when using the pandas in Python programming language. This particular function is used with the “header” parameter and “none”. This informs the pandas whether the file contains the header or not. If not, then it will assign a default column that indicates the first row as hearers.

Here is the example given to showcase how to read a CSV file without headers being used by using the pandas in Python programming language:-

Import pandas as pd

# Replace ‘your_file.csv’ with the path to your CSV file
File_path = ‘your_file.csv’
# Read the CSV file without headers
Data = pd.read_csv(file_path, header=None)
# Display the data

Print(data)

This approach will allow you to read and even manipulate the CSV files without the headers being used. This further helps in the analysis of the data and manipulation.
