K-means clustering with the iris data example

The famous iris data has been used from the UCI machine learning repository for illustration purposes using k-means clustering. The link for downloading the data is here: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Iris. The iris data has three types of flowers: setosa, versicolor, and virginica and their respective measurements of sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width.
