33 Mr. Snehant is a software engineer working at TCS. He has been assigned to develop code for stock 4
management; he has to create a CSV file named stock.csv to store the stock details of different products.
The structure of stock.csv is : [stockno, sname, price, qty], where stockno is the stock serial number (int),
sname is the stock name (string), price is stock price (float) and qty is quantity of stock(int).
Mr. Snehant wants to maintain the stock data properly, for which he wants to write the following user-
defined functions:
AcceptStock() – to accept a record from the user and append it to the file stock.csv. The column headings
should also be added on top of the csv file. The number of records to be entered until the
user chooses ‘Y’ / ‘Yes’.
StockReport() – to read and display the stockno, stock name, price, qty and value of each stock as
price*qty. As a Python expert, help him complete the task.
Ans:
import csv
def AcceptStock():
fw=open("Stock.csv", "w", newline= "")
writer=csv.writer(fw)
stock=[]
writer.writerow(["stockno", "sname", "price", "qty"])
while True:
stockno=int(input("Enter Stock No : "))
sname=input("Enter Stock Name : ")
price=float(input("Enter Stock Price : "))
qty=int(input("Enter Quantity : "))
data=[stockno,sname,price,qty]
stock.append(data)
ch=input("Add more record Y/N").upper()
if ch=='N':break
writer.writerows(stock)

Equi Join:
select * from employee ,department where employee.deptcode=department.deptcode;
Natural join:
select * from employee natural join department;
