I have a very large quantity of information in a CVS file. I imported the data correctly but now I need to use FromDigits… and everytime that that I try the function, the Mathematica collapses and closes… any suggestions?
CO2_IR_50.csv (6.76 MB)
HW5_cvs_reading.nb (2.93 MB)
What version of Mathematica are you using? What is the goal of the FromDigits? It’s very unclear from the notebook. Can you take a smaller piece of your data and show what outputs you are expecting from that data?
Mathematica 12.0.
The goal is to convert the data in a integer…
Please provide a short example of relevant input and desired output. As indicated in a different response, it is not obvious what exactly is desired here.
You may have an error in your CSV.
Remember to read instructions on Import: you are importing Mathematica expressions. If you wish to “import only data” then insure you use the right options.
(ie, if you import 2+2 to Mathematica the default is to evaluate it as an expression not as “2+2” text, and if you import “123 promise lane” Mathematica will believe that’s 123promiselane unless your sure the Import you used is “data only not expression”).
FromDigits “can’t” cause a collapse and cause a close (used in a script without error). Perhaps you used the wrong syntax (it is possible to cause the Kernel to Quit[] using illegal syntax, though the front end should not be effected unless you have an OS bug), or imported the data incorrectly (my guess is you imported expressions un-knowingly and because you don’t realize they are expressions that constitute bad syntax, you haven’t guessed why it would be “closing out” on you).
Log[cross] is unevaluated because cross contains the string “cross_section” from the header row. Try
cross = alist[[2 ;;, 2]];
logC = Log[cross]
As others have commented, it is not clear what you are trying to accomplish with FromDigits since your data does not have a list of digits.
I don’t see any problem with plotting or loading this data.
Indeed the first line is a string instead of a number and many numbers of which you want to take the Log are 0 but in general mathematica doesn’t realy care about that at all.
In[88]:= alist = Import["CO2_IR_50.csv", "Data"];
In[102]:= cross = alist[[All, 2]];
logC = Log[cross];
logC[[1 ;; 10]]
Out[104]= {Log[
"cross_section"], Indeterminate, Indeterminate, Indeterminate, \
Indeterminate, Indeterminate, Indeterminate, Indeterminate, \
Indeterminate, Indeterminate}
Even plotting work ok, it just ignores values it cannot plot.
ListPlot[data]
ListPlot[Transpose[{alist[[All, 1]], logC}]]
PS use a semicolon at the end of your lines to prevent mathematica printing everything to the notebook when it is not needed.
