How to Read and Write CSV Files in Python

Introduction
Final Quiz
3. Question 2
Summary

Instruction

Exercise

Each line in the furniture_receipt.csv file contains an item and the amount paid for it. Read the entire file, add up all amounts, and print the following sentence:

Total amount spent on furniture: {x}

Stuck? Here's a hint!

csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=';')
