As for someone experienced in R I naturally look for data.frame-like structure in Julia to load csv file into it. And luckily it is present and seems to work pretty well. You need to install package called “DataFrames” to operate on R-like dataframes:
Pkg.add("DataFrames")
and load it after installation:
using DataFrames;
The whole documentation is available here. For now we will try to load simple CSV file and play with it. You can use iris dataset. It is a toy dataset meant for various machine learning tasks. Lets download it and read into a variable called iris
iris = readtable("iris.csv")
