CSV File Notes

The document discusses CSV (comma separated value) files and how to work with them in Python. CSV files store tabular data in plain text format and can be easily imported and exported from programs like Excel. Each line in a CSV file represents a record, with fields separated by commas. The csv module in Python allows reading from and writing to CSV files. It includes functions like csv.reader() to iterate over rows in a CSV file and csv.writer() to write rows to a CSV file. The document provides examples of using these functions to read and append data to CSV files for tasks like storing employee payroll information.

CSV files
• CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a simple file format used to store tabular data ( such as a
spreadsheet or database ) in plain text.
• Files in the CSV format can be imported to and exported from programs that store data in tables,
such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc.
• Comma-separated file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values.

Delimited Text File means


• each line represents a record &
• the fields of each record are
separated by a delimiter

• Eg:- 12345, Alin Raj, 95.4


• 2145 , Betty Sam, 92.5
