Write a CSV file scores.csv with the header name,score and the rows Asha,72 and Rao, Ravi,85 (the name of the second student holds a comma). Read it back with the csv module, and show the two rows.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Plan. Use csv.writer with newline="". The writer puts quotation marks around the name that holds a comma.
Check. The file holds name,score, Asha,72 and "Rao, Ravi",85. The reader gives back ['name', 'score'], ['Asha', '72'] and ['Rao, Ravi', '85']. The comma inside the name did not make a new column, and the numbers came back as texts.
Answer: The three rows above, with Rao, Ravi kept as one name.
