4. Open Browser
5. Write Cell

Variables Used:

1. excelPath - Stores the path of the Excel file.


2. productName - Stores the product name read from the Excel sheet.
3. productUrl - Stores the URL of the product page.
4. productPrice - Stores the price of the product extracted from the Daraz website.
