Hi Prof. Wise, I found that sample2.tsv do not have any empty cells except <Cantril Ladder score>. But this feature is not mentioned in assignment description (or I should apologize for my neglect). I wonder if empty cells permissible in other columns like <GDP per capita>, <Population>, <Homicide Rate> and <Life Expectancy>? Your prompt attention to my petition will be highly appreciated. Best regards, Kai Zheng

And should I remove double quotes in raw headers as sample2.tsv did.

Hi Kai, Empty cells are fine anywhere for the data cleaning program, so long as the rows are within the range of years of interest. Re: double quotes, you only need these in CSV format, because comma can occur naturally within a string, so the whole string is quoted. However, with TSV format, double quotes are not significant for demarcating string boundaries. Cheers MichaelW 👨‍🎨
