I have a csv file with 4 fields; student_id
, date_of_exam
, subject
and marks
. I want to store the values in marks
field in some list based on every different student_id
and subject
so that I can perform some operation on that list later (ex: get the average marks etc).
I can do this if I have a student_id
and subject
beforehand; I can check them against all the values in the csv file and store marks
corresponding to that particular student_id
and subject
(as shown in the code snippet below). But how do I do it for every student? This is the part I can't seem to figure out.
import csv
with open('results_file.csv', 'r') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
# next(reader)
marks = []
for line in reader:
if line[0] == student_id and line[2] == subject:
values.append(float(line[3]))
print("Maximum: {}, Minimum: {}, Average: {}, Count: {}".format(max(values), min(values), sum(values) / len(values), len(values)))
The csv file looks something like this:
student_id,date_of_exam,subject,marks
a1,2012-05-21,Maths,45
a2,2012-05-24,Physics,48
a2,2012--5-27,Chemistry,42
a1,2012-05-15,Language,35
a2,2012-05-21,Maths,49
a3,2012-05-15,Language,47
You can use dictionaries:
grades_per_student = {}
grades_per_subject = {}
with open('results_file.csv', 'r') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
for line in reader:
if line[0] in grades_per_student.keys():
grades_per_student[line[0]].append(line[-1])
else:
grades_per_student[line[0]] = [line[-1]]
if line[2] in grades_per_subject.keys():
grades_per_subject[line[2]].append(line[-1])
else:
grades_per_subject[line[2]] = [line[-1]]
Result:
grades_per_student = {'a1': [45, 35], 'a2': [48, 42,49], 'a3': [47]}
grades_per_subjects = {'Maths': [45, 49], 'Physics': [48], 'Chemistry': [42], 'Language': [35, 47]}
You can use collections.defaultdict
to store marks for every student/subject:
import csv
from collections import defaultdict
with open('out.csv', 'r') as f:
reader = csv.reader(f)
next(reader) # skip header
marks = defaultdict(list)
grades = defaultdict(dict)
subjects = set()
for (student_id, date_of_exam, subject, mark) in reader:
marks[student_id].append(int(mark))
grades[student_id][subject] = int(mark)
subjects.add(subject)
subjects = sorted(subjects)
print('{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^5}'.format('student_id', 'maximum', 'minimum', 'average', 'count'))
for student, marks in marks.items():
print('{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^10}{: ^10.2f}{: ^5}'.format(student, max(marks), min(marks), sum(marks) / len(marks), len(marks) ))
print()
print('{: ^15}'.format('student\subject'), end='')
for s in subjects:
print('{: ^15}'.format(s), end='')
print()
for student_id, student_subjects in grades.items():
print('{: ^15}'.format(student_id), end='')
for s in subjects:
if s in student_subjects:
print('{: ^15}'.format(student_subjects[s]), end='')
else:
print('{: ^15}'.format('-'), end='')
print()
Prints:
student_id maximum minimum average count
a1 45 35 40.00 2
a2 49 42 46.33 3
a3 47 47 47.00 1
student\subject Chemistry Language Maths Physics
a1 - 35 45 -
a2 42 - 49 48
a3 - 47 - -
I recommend that you use pandas library :
Read your data into a dataframe using pandas.read_csv function.
Passing the argument names
, you can load only the columns of the csv that you want
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('results_file.csv', names=['student_id', 'subject', 'marks'])
