I am getting an error while trying to use SVM for classification a a dataset

Question

This is the code I used

svmclassifier = SVC(kernel = "rbf",random_state=0)
svmclassifier.fit(x_train,y_train)

And this is the error: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9QonD.png

this issue is always related to what is the type of your target y_train. It should always be in integer or you can encode the target using LabelEncoder()

How do I implement the LabelEncoder() – Richard Aboagye Aug 25 '21 at 23:07
`from sklearn import preprocessing` `enc = preprocessing.LabelEncoder()` `y_target = enc.fit_transform(y_target)` – Mohamed Afify Aug 25 '21 at 23:09
where y_target represents ?? – Richard Aboagye Aug 25 '21 at 23:27
Sorry, in your case it will be the y_train – Mohamed Afify Aug 25 '21 at 23:31
