The system prompts me this message:
/var/folders/7y/rvhwt04n48g8nsfq443cymkh0000gn/T/ipykernel_5081/342987204.py:11: FutureWarning: The frame.append method is deprecated and will be removed from pandas in a future version. Use pandas.concat instead.
data = train.append(test, ignore_index = True)
I replace .append with .concat but it throws me errors:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why this is an attribute error? Why can't I replace .append with .concat? Do I need to use a new library? What did I miss?
Thanks.
The AttributeError
is occurring because the DataFrame
object in pandas
does not have an attribute named concat
. Instead, you should use the pd.concat()
function to concatenate DataFrames.You can replace the .append()
method with pd.concat()
like this:
data = pd.concat([train_dataset, test_dataset], ignore_index=True)
