How to load a table from .csv and skip lines?

Hey all! I am very new to MatLab and am just figuring it all out. I wanted to do some plotting but am unable to do so.

Basically I want plot all values in the age and studyTime column. Unfortunately, because of the whole "table in a csv text file" I am not able to import it or work with it.

I have tried almost every solution I could find but am not able to accomplish something. Also, please use simple code as I am a Python guy and know absolutely nothing of

MatLab.

Thanx in advance :)

BTW, Here is some one of the code I tried ===>

close all;

load student_mat_final.csv age studytime

plot(age,studytime)

Hi, try this

filename = 'student_mat.csv'               % open file (make sure it exist in the current folder)
T = readtable(filename);                   % read file as table   
age = T.age;                               % read age column
study_time = T.studytime;                  % read studytime column
area(age, study_time)                      % plot them

xlabel('Age') 
ylabel('Study Time')

title('Age vs Study time plot')

I used area, You can use any types of plot as you want. Look at this amazing page you can choose what you want.
