i. How are CSV files different from Binary Files
Csv file:
CSV (Comma Separated Values) is a file format for data
storage which looks like a text file.The information is
organized with one record on each line and each field is
separated by comma.
Binary file:
A binary file stores the data in the same way as as stored
in the memory. The .exe files, mp3 file, image files, word
documents are some of theexamples of binary files. We
can’t read a binary file using a text editor.

the record.
