CSV file CS

CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a text file format used for storing tabular data in a human-readable format, utilizing delimiters such as commas, tabs, or semicolons. It is easily editable, compatible across programming languages, and preferred for data import/export in databases and spreadsheets. The CSV module in Python provides functionality to read and write CSV files, with specific syntax for opening and closing files, and handling end-of-line characters across different operating systems.

 CSV stands for Comma Separated Value.


 CSV is just like a text file, in a human readable format which
is extensively used to store tabular data, in a spreadsheet or
database.
 The Separator character of CSV file is called a delimiter,
Default delimiter is comma (,). Other delimiters are tab
(‘\t’), colon (:), semicolon(;) and pipe (|).

object>

Example:
f=open(Student.csv, “w”)
OR
f=open(“Student.csv,’’w’)
Close a csv file: f.close()
 New line argument specifies

with csv files, on different
operating system.
 Different operating system store
