Question 4 - Past Year - 3 Mark Questions - Chapter 2 - File Handling in Python

Explain Reading CSV files with CSV.

Answer:

CSV files are handled using the csv module. The reader class from the module is used for reading from a csv file .

• At first, the csv file is opened in the read mode using the in-built function open( ).
• The open( ) function returns a file object.
• This file object is passed to the reader.

Example:

import csv

f=open( "values.csv" , 'r' )

output=csv.reader(f,delimiter= ',' )

for row in output:

    print(row)
