I can't seem to access the data in my file?

Question

library(tidyverse)
y <- read_tsv("assignment_data.tsv")
x <- 1

When I check R console I get the following:

> y <- read_tsv("assignment_data.tsv", header=TRUE)
Error in read_tsv("assignment_data.tsv", header = TRUE) : 
  unused argument (header = TRUE)
> 
> x <- 1
>

However, I can only access x in the global environment and I can't visualize the data in the file I tried to import.

Regarding your error:

Error in read_tsv("assignment_data.tsv", header = TRUE) : 
  unused argument (header = TRUE)

If you use

?read_tsv

you will find header is not one of the arguments. Instead, you are looking for col_names

Edit: We found out the problem laid within the tsv itself. The number of column names did not match the number of columns (implied by data)

I can't type 'y' in the console to open up the data in R – github292929 Mar 20 '22 at 19:33
when u type `y` into console what error message did u get? – Sweepy Dodo Mar 20 '22 at 19:36
object not found – github292929 Mar 20 '22 at 19:37
type `ls()` into console. Does `y` exist? – Sweepy Dodo Mar 20 '22 at 19:38
