exploring the environment. e.g. You can visit shops/business places, communities or other organizations
in their localities and enquire about the functioning of the organization, and how data are generated,
stored, and managed.You can take data stored in csv or database file and analyze using Python libraries
and generate appropriate charts to visualize.

display the name, if not found display appropriate message.
● Create a binary file with roll number, name and marks. Input a roll number and update
the marks
Project
The aim of the project is to create something that is tangible and useful using Python
file handling/ Python-SQL connectivity. The aim is to find a real world problem that is worthwhile to
solve. You are encouraged to visit local businesses and ask them about the problems that they are facing.
For example, if a business is finding it hard to create invoices for filing GST claims, then you can do a
project that takes the raw data (list of transactions), groups the transactions by category, accounts for the
GST tax rates, and creates invoices in the
appropriate format. You can be extremely creative here and can use a wide variety of
Python libraries to create user friendly applications such as games, software for your school,
and mobile applications etc.
