Reading CSV database on Py.

I want to randomly generate 5 numbers. and then based on those 5 numbers, get the questions, answers and marks corresponding to that number from the database. the columns on the database go as follow: number/question/answer/marks. all the database contains is 10 data rows on those headings. I want an overview of what kinda things I should include with maybe some examples. https://code.sololearn.com/cHT3zwdeMrv7/?ref=app Thanks

I have no idea how to deal with csv in Python. According to what I read for 5 minutes online, it appears that number = row["Numbers"] would return a dict and store it in number. If that is the case, I suppose you can use your generated random number and access the dict via index. Hopefully someone with better knowledge of Python comes across this.

Hatsy Rei more than helpful. I'll see if I can implement that. I saw a bid on sentdex on this I think . I got the questions working and the whole user input and checks it against the answer in database. it's just the random gen that I have to fix. I'll upload the updated in a while and maybe u can check it out and give some advice thanks😗

I learnt how to handle CSV files with java. Finally I found how to do it with Python. Except, my Excel like the rest of my Office 2016 is screwed up
