`get_dummies` function in numpy ? (StudentAdmissions.ipynb)

[imkeno]

TODO: One-hot encoding the rank

Use the get_dummies function in numpy in order to one-hot encode the data.

I don't find get_dummies in numpy,I only find it in pandas

Numpy doesn't have that function, you have to use Pandas for it.
pandas.get_dummies

In pandas.get_dummies, dtype attribute does not work. Please help!

pd.get_dummies(pd.Series(list('abc')), dtype=float)
TypeError: get_dummies() got an unexpected keyword argument 'dtype'

@anuraagrijal3138 Are you coding on your own conda environment or on the online workshop? I believe the online workshop for this assignment has a older version of pandas installed in it, which is why it's throwing that issue.
