Intro To Python Programming - Working with CSV Files

The video tutorial explains how to work with CSV files, which store data in a structured format with lines and commas. It demonstrates how to read and parse CSV files using Python, focusing on extracting specific data such as city and state information. The tutorial covers opening files in read mode, using the read lines command, and parsing data by splitting lines on commas. It also shows how to loop through data to extract and concatenate specific information, providing a foundation for data analysis with Python.

What is the primary way data is separated in a CSV file?

• By commas

• By tabs

• By semicolons

• By spaces

In the Python program, what does the 'r' in the open function signify?

• Read mode

• Write mode

• Execute mode

• Append mode

Which Python command is used to read lines from a file?

• readall()

• readlines()

• read()

• readfile()

What is the purpose of splitting lines on a comma in the CSV parsing process?

• To separate data points into a list

• To convert lines into a single string

• To count the number of commas

• To remove commas from the data

How can you extract both city and state information from a CSV line in the given program?

• By splitting the line by spaces

• By using the first and second elements of the list

• By concatenating the 8th and 9th elements of the list

• By using the last two elements of the list
