A Python enum example. The explanation is in the video below.

Sample CSV code

import csv

file = open("subscription_data.csv")

csvreader=csv.reader(file)

for rows in csvreader:

if rows[1] > '6000':

print(rows)

file.close()

Sample Linear Search Code

def LinearSearch (array, n, k):

for j in range (0, n):

if (array[j] == k):

return j

return -1

array =[-1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9]


k = 7

n = len (array)


result = LinearSearch(array, n, k)


if (result == -1):

print ("Element not found")

else:

print ("Element found at index: ", result)
