error NameError: name 'head' is not defined on jupyter notebook

Question

i am trying to import a dataset in jupyter notebook and i wrote the following code following a tutorial i was following on youtube but i couldn't run the dataset. here is the code;

df = pandas.read_csv('C:\\Users\\CMuasya\\downloads\\data_wrangling_datasets\\data\\gapminder.tsv', sep='\t')
df = head()

the error being displayed is as follows;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- NameError Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 df = head()

NameError: name 'head' is not defined

what could be the problem and what is the solution to the error? kind regards

The problem is that head() is undefined within the scope. The solution depends on the steps you were supposed to follow in order to get here, likely a missed import. Please post a link to the video so that prospective answerers know what you're trying to do. — Michael Ruth

individual head() is nothing if you want get 5 rows of data then

df = pd.read_csv('xyz.csv')
print(df.head())

head is a method called on dataframe

error NameError: name 'head' is not defined on jupyter notebook
