14. How to perform reading and writing operations for text format data in CSV files?

Ans: To perform reading and writing operations in text format data using pandas in Python, we
commonly use functions like read_csv and to_csv for CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files.

1. Reading data from CSV format files:

Pandas provides the read_csv()function to read text data into a Data Frame from CSV files.
import pandas as pd

# Reading a CSV file


data = pd.read_csv('filename.csv')
Reading a Tab-delimited Text File:
Also, the data from the text files can be read by specifying the delimiter used in the file.
data = pd.read_csv('filename.txt', delimiter='\t')
2. Writing data to CSV format files:

The to_csv() function is used to write DataFrame data to a CSV or text file.

# Writing the DataFrame to a CSV file


data.to_csv('output.csv', index=False)
This writes the DataFrame to a CSV file without including row indices.
# Writing to a Tab-delimited text file
data.to_csv('output.txt', sep='\t', index=False)

Here, the delimiter is specified as \t (tab character) for a tab-delimited text file.
