KNN algorithm on iris dataset

Question

Hi guys can i please get some insights towards why my code isnt functioning as required. I am getting an 0 % accuracy. I believe its towards the end of the code when using append its returning None and i am not sure how to fix that. It should return something like accuracy:97%. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

 if testSet[x][-1] is predictions[x]:

change it to

if testSet[x][-1] == predictions[x]:
