Question

Create a Python program that opens and reads a csv file. Display csv file in legible format. Include the program as a function.

Answer 1

Python program done in Jupyter notebook:

Code:

import pandas as pd

def my_function():
    bp = pd.read_csv("blood_pressure.csv")
    print(bp.head())

my_function()

Excel Sheet:

Output:

Here we have used pandas library inorder to open and read a csv file.

A sample csv file (blood_pressure.csv) is taken. It is present in the same working directory of my Jupyter notebook workspace.

Otherwise you have to mention the whole path inside read_csv() function.( like read_csv("/path") )

head() retrieves the first 5 rows of csv file.
