To load two external files in d3.js, you can use the d3.queue() function to load multiple files asynchronously. Here's an example code snippet that demonstrates how to load two external files (data1.csv and data2.json) using d3.queue():

// Create a new queue
var q = d3.queue();

// Load the first file (data1.csv) using d3.csv()
q.defer(d3.csv, "data1.csv");

// Load the second file (data2.json) using d3.json()
q.defer(d3.json, "data2.json");

// When all files are loaded, process the data
q.await(function(error, data1, data2) {
  if (error) {
    // Handle any errors
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    // Process the data here
    console.log("Data from data1.csv", data1);
    console.log("Data from data2.json", data2);
  }
});


In this code snippet, d3.queue() is used to defer the loading of two files (data1.csv and data2.json) and then await for the data to be loaded asynchronously. Once both files are loaded, the q.await() function is called with a callback that processes the data.
