32 Vedansh is a Python programmer working in a school. For the Annual 4
Sports Event, he has created a csv file named Result.csv, to store the
results of students in different sports events. The structure of Result.csv
is :
[St_Id, St_Name, Game_Name, Result]

Result is result of the game whose value can be either 'Won', 'Lost'
or 'Tie'
For efficiently maintaining data of the event, Vedansh wants to write the
following user defined functions:
Accept() – to accept a record from the user and add it to the file
Result.csv. The column headings should also be added on top of the csv
file.
wonCount() – to count the number of students who have won any
event. As a Python expert, help him complete the task.
