    CSV – “COMMA SEPARATED

    VALUES”
    CSV FILE:
    A CSV stands for “ comma separated values”, which is defined
    as a simple file format that uses specific structuring to arrange tabular
    data. It stores tabular data such as spreadsheet or database in plain text.
    A csv file opens into the excel sheet, and the rows and columns
    data define the standard format.
    To work with CSV files in Python, you can use the built-in CSV
    module and Python’s open() function:
    To work with CSV files in Python, you can use the built-in CSV module and
    Python’s open() function:

    1. Import the csv module


    2. Open the csv files as a text file using open()
    3. Create a CSV reader object using csv.reader()
    4. Use the reader object to iterate over each line of the CSV file.
    Example:
    import csv
    with open(‘example.csv’, mode=‘r’) as file:
    csv_reader = csv.reader(file)
    header = next(csv_reader)
    print(header)
    rows=[]
    for row in csv_reader:
    rows.append(row)
    print(rows)
    file.close()
    Steps to Read CSV files in python using csv reader:

    * Import the CSV library. import csv


    * Open the CSV file
    f=open(“ .csv”)
    type(f)
    * Use the csv.reader object to rad the CSV file
    csvreader=csv.reader(f)
    * Extract the field names
    header=[]
    header=next(csvreader)
    header
    * Extract the rows/records
    rows=[]
    for row in csvreader:
    rows.append(row)
    rows
    * Close the files. f.close()
    Syntax:

    With open(filename, mode) as alias_filename:


    Mode:
    * ‘r’ – to read an existing file,
    * ‘w’ – to create a new file if the given file
    doesn’t exist and write to it,
    * ‘a’ – to append to existing file content,
    * ‘+’ – to create a new file for reading and
    writing.
    Using csv.Reader() function:

    The csv.reader() module is used to read the csv


    file. It takes each row of the file and makes a list of
    all the columns.
    OUTPUT:
    [‘Name’, ‘Age’, ‘ City’]
    [‘Ram’, ‘27’, ‘Mumbai’]
    [‘Bheem’, ‘29’, ‘ Pune’]
    Using csv.Writerow() function:
    Syntax:
    csv.writer(csv_file,dialect=‘excel’,**optional_params)
    * writerow() – method is used to write a single row at a time
    into a CSV file.
    * writerows() – method is used to write multiple rows at a time.
    Example:
    import csv
    field_name=[‘Name’, ‘ Age’, ‘ City’]
    rows_entries=[[‘Ram’, ‘27’, ‘Mumbai’],
    [‘Bheem’, ‘29’, ‘ Pune’]]
    file_name=“student_detail.csv”
    with open(file_name, ’w’) as csv_file:
    csv_writer = csv.writer(csv_file)
    csvwriter.writerow(field_name)
    csvwriter.writerows(rows_entries)
