25. Radha Shah is a programmer, who has recently been given a task to write a python code to perform the following CSV file operations with the help of two user defined functions/modules:
a. CSVOpen() : to create a CSV file called BOOKS.CSV in append mode containing information of books – Title, Author and Price.
b. CSVRead() : to display the records from the CSV file called BOOKS.CSV where the field title starts with ‘R’.
She has succeeded in writing partial code and has missed out certain statements, so she has left certain queries in comment lines.
import csv
def CSVOpen():
with open(‘books.csv’,’______’,newline=”) as csvf: #Statement-1
cw=______ #Statement-2
______ #Statement-3
cw.writerow([‘Rapunzel’,’Jack’,300])
cw.writerow([‘Barbie’,’Doll’,900])
cw.writerow([‘Johnny’,’Jane’,280])
def CSVRead():
try:
with open(‘books.csv’,’r’) as csvf:
cr=csv.reader(csvf)
for r in cr:
if r[0][0]==’R’:
print(r)
except:
print(‘File Not Found’)
CSVOpen()
CSVRead()
You as an expert of Python have to provide the missing statements and other related queries based on the following code of Radha.

● Traverse the content of the list and push the even numbers into a stack.
● Pop and display the content of the stack.
For Example: If the sample Content of the list is as follows:
N=[12, 13, 34, 56, 21, 79, 98, 22, 35, 38]
Sample Output of the code should be: 38 22 98 56 34 12

fi = ___(fname,___) #Fill_Line6
fi._______ #Fill_Line7
fi._______ #Fill_Line8
fi.close()
print(“Done”)
def fileFunction2(fname, N1, N2):

print(fi.read(N1))
fi.readline()
print( fi.read(N2) )
a = fi.readlines ()
print(a) N1 = 16 #Line1
N2 = 22 #Line2
String = “India strengthening” #Line3
fileFunction1( ____,____) #Fill_Line4
fileFunction2 ( ‘Education.txt’, N1, N2)
Help her to complete her assignment as per the following instructions.
a. Complete Fill_Line4 so that the function call to FileFunction1() passes two arguments: First as the filename and the second as the string given in Line 3.
b. Complete Fill_Line5 so that the function header is as per its function call.
c. Complete Fill_Line6 so that the file is opened in a mode that will allow it to write the string at the end of the file without deleting anything from the file.
