This exercise demonstrates how to check for missing values in a dataset, which is a common pre-processing step in machine learning.

Sample Solution :

Code :

import pandas as pd
# Load the dataset
df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
# Check for missing values in the dataset
missing_values = df.isna().sum()
# Output the result
