While we know the syntax, algorithms, context and have the ability to anlayse the given data which may also be in a weird format, there are always challenges which consumes tons of our time by throwing error.
The error and the challenges I faced- quite a few,
1. A csv file which contained Date column and quite other variables. While R was reading this file, it interpreted as character, the character was something like ' 44326'. I was struggling with all my known skills/ strategies, I was not able to succeed.
Finally when gone through the data, I found the String ' Total' at the end of the date column, which was almost impossible for me to identify.
2. The second challenge was the date conversion, while the package may be R or Python, there are lot more chances that the date is not interpreted properly and the program might run.While I was cross checking the data I found the error, by the time I found it hours have gone !.
3.Use of reserved words / Standard words for the package - Example- count.
4. Space between the variables in the header
5. Blank lines in the first row
Lot more... will add then and there.
