Hi, I'm getting a keyerror of species, please advice after looking at this error

[ghost]

I am using seaborn but it is just a command to count data points for each class are present
I wrote this- iris["species"].value_counts()

---

KeyError Traceback (most recent call last)

Thank you

Here are a few things you can check:
Column Name Existence: Ensure that there is a column named 'species' in your DataFrame. You can check the column names using iris.columns.

print(iris.columns)
Typo or Case Sensitivity: Verify that you're using the correct column name, including any capitalization. Python is case-sensitive, so 'species' is different from 'Species' or 'SPECIES'.

Data Loading: Make sure that you have successfully loaded the data into the DataFrame. If there was an issue with loading the data, the column may not exist.

Data Structure: Ensure that iris is indeed a DataFrame. You can check its type with type(iris).

Data Cleaning: It's possible that there was an issue with how the data was loaded or preprocessed. Double-check the data source or loading code to make sure the column exists.

If you're still having trouble, please provide a bit more context or the relevant code snippets so I can assist you further.
