1. Sangeetha is a Python programmer working in a computer Answer:

hardware company. She has to maintain the records of the import csv
peripheral devices. She created a csv file named Peripheral.csv, def Add_Device():
f = open(“Peripheral.csv”, ’a’, newline=” “)
to store the details.
x = csv.writer(f)
The structure of Peripheral.csv is: [P_id, P_name, Price] P_id = int( input())
Where P_name = input()
P_id is Peripheral device id (integer), Price = int( input())
P_name is Peripheral device name (String) and y = [P_id, P_name, Price]
Price is Peripheral device price (integer) x.writerow(y)
Sangeetha wants to write the following user defined functions: f.close()

Answer:
2. Ajay is a Python programmer working in a school. For the
Annual Sports Event, he has created a csv file named Result.csv, import csv
to store the results of students in different sports events. The def Accept():
structure of Result.csv is: f = open(“Result.csv”, ’a’, newline=” “)
[St_Id, St_Name, Game_Name, Result] x = csv.writer(f)
St_Id= int (input ())
Where
St_Name= input()
St_Id is Student ID (integer) Game_Name = input()
ST_name is Student Name (string) Result = input()
heading=[“St_id”,”St_Name”,”Game_Name”,”Result”]
Game_Name is name of game in which student is
y = [St_id, St_Name, Game_Name, Result]
participating(string) Result is result of the game whose value can
x.writerow(heading)
be either 'Won', 'Lost' or 'Tie'
x.writerow(y)
For efficiently maintaining data of the event, Ajay wants to write f.close()
the following user defined functions:
def CountRecord():
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 f=open("Result.csv","r")
the csv file. x=csv.reader(f)
CountRecord() – to count the number of records present in the y=list(x)
csv file named ‘Result.csv’.
print(len(y))
As a Python expert, help him complete the task. f.close()

Answer:
3. Write a Program in Python that defines and calls the following
import csv
user defined functions:
def add():
(i) add() – To accept and add data of an employee to a CSV f=open("employee.csv", "a", newline=” “)
file ‘employee.csv’. Each record consists of a list with field x=csv.writer(f)
elements as eid, name and salary to store employee id, eid=int(input( ))
employee name and employee salary respectively. name=input( )
salary =int(input( ))
(ii) search()- To display the records of the employee whose
y=[eid, name, salary]
salary is more than 40000.
x.writerow(y)
f.close()
def search():
f=open("employee.csv", "r”)
x=list(csv.reader(f))
for i in x:
if int(i[2]) > 40000:
print(i[0], i[1], i[2])
else:
print("Record not found")
f.close()
