33. What is the advantage of using a csv file for permanent storage? 5
Write a Program in Python that defines and calls the following user defined functions:

a) ADD() – To accept and add data of an employee to a CSV file ‘record.csv’. Each
record consists of a list with field elements as empid, name and mobile to
store employee id, employee name and employee salary respectively.
b) COUNTR() – To count the number of records present in the CSV file named
‘record.csv’.

Ans:
Advantage of a csv file:
• It is human readable – can be opened in Excel and Notepad applications
• It is just like text file

Program:

import csv def

ADD(): fout=open("record.csv","a",newline="\n")
wr=csv.writer(fout)
empid=int(input("Enter Employee id :: ")) name=input("Enter
name :: ")
mobile=int(input("Enter mobile number :: "))
lst=[empid,name,mobile] ---------1/2 mark wr.writerow(lst)
---------1/2 mark fout.close()
def COUNTR():

 OR

Give any one point of difference between a binary file and a csv file. Write a
Program in Python that defines and calls the following user defined functions:

a) add() – To accept and add data of an employee to a CSV file

‘furdata.csv’. Each record consists of a list with field elements as fid, fname
and fprice to store furniture id, furniture name and furniture price
respectively.

b) search()- To display the records of the furniture whose price is more than 10000.

Ans:

Binary file:
• Extension is .dat
• Not human readable
• Stores data in the form of 0s and 1s
CSV file
• Extension is .csv
• Human readable
• Stores data like a text file

Program:

import csv def add():

fout=open("furdata.csv","a",newline='\n')
wr=csv.writer(fout)
fid=int(input("Enter Furniture Id :: "))
fname=input("Enter Furniture name :: ")
fprice=int(input("Enter price :: "))
FD=[fid,fname,fprice] wr.writerow(FD)
fout.close()
def search():
fin=open("furdata.csv","r",newline='\n')
