# Question 8: It assumes that the CSV file being read # (tomato_sales_error.csv) has a column named "Tomato_Sales." # If the column doesn't exist in the CSV file or if there is an issue # with the file itself, an error will be raised. # Question 9: import pandas as pd def read_tomato_sales(file_name): data = pd.read_csv(file_name) # Ensure required columns exist required_columns = ["Store", "Region", "Tomato_Sales"] missing_columns = set(required_columns) - set(data.columns) if missing_columns: raise ValueError(f"Invalid CSV format: Missing columns: {', '.join(missing_columns)}") # Validate Tomato_Sales column tomato_sales = data["Tomato_Sales"] if not tomato_sales.dtype == int and not tomato_sales.dtype == float: raise ValueError("Invalid CSV format: 'Tomato_Sales' column must contain numerical values.") # Calculate total tomato sales total_sales = tomato_sales.sum() print(f"Total tomato sales: {total_sales}") # Question 10: Bytes represent raw binary data, while strings represent # textual data. Using bytes allows us to handle various character # encodings. By working with bytes, we can ensure that the data remains in # its raw encoded form, allowing for accurate handling of different # encodings. # In the interactive Python REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop), the "_" variable # is a special variable that is automatically assigned the result of the # last expression evaluated. The type of the "_" variable reflects the # type of the last expression evaluated in the REPL.
