I am new to Jupyter and Data Science in general. So I was recently introduced with Pandas library in python and also the topic of file read/write. I wrote a code wherein I had to open my csv file on the notebook but I wasn't able to do so.

I have tried all methods that I could think of but none of them are working. Here are the codes that I tried to open my file

```
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd
    walmart_data = pd.read_csv("Walmart_Store_sales.csv")

```

**The other method that I tried was using the path (relative as well as absolute)**

```
walmart_data = pd.read_csv(r"C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\project\walmart.csv")

```

**Also I used the encoding format,**

```
walmart_data = pd.read_csv(
    r"C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\project\walmart.csv",
    encoding="UTF-8"
)

```

Still after trying these methods, I was getting the same error again and again that my file was not found.
