Where is the data coming from when load_data() is used in the Jupyter notebook?

We’ve used it in previous labs, but the one I’m viewing is HERE.

# load dataset
X, y = load_data()

The load_data() function is called to set values for X and y, though I’m not sure exactly where it is getting the data from. In other words, where and how is the data stored and how do you know the load_data() function is available for use?

The load_data() function is in a utility python file. The file was imported in the first cell in the notebook. You can find its filename there, and thenread that python file by opening the File menu. That’s where all the ipynb and python files are held.

Ah, I see the file structure now! Thanks, that is super helpful
