How many features are contained in the provided dataset?

The number of features in a dataset is the number of columns used for training the model, excluding the target variable.

To determine the number of features in Python, you can use the pandas library:

import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv('data.csv')

# Assume the target variable is called 'target'
features = data.drop(columns=['target'])

print('Number of features:', features.shape[1])

If the target variable is not specified, then the number of features equals the number of columns in the DataFrame.
