How do use data from csv files as variables?

[JUSS1K]

I started learning python myself as a hobby and I'm currently stuck with a csv tasks which I'm doing. See, I want to use the data from my excel csv as variables in my code, so I could use it in the body mass index calc.

One line in the csv consist of: Name, Height, Weight. For example: Mike, 190, 75

#the code goes as follows

import csv

with open('peoples_data.csv', 'r') as csv_file:
   reader = csv.reader(csv_file)
    
   for line in reader:
        print(line)
    

#this is the formula I want to use the variables in:
#BMI = ((1.3 * weight) / height**2.5) * 100000 

I want to find everyones BMI seperately (and possibly write a new file afterwards, but that I can do already). Any help is welcome cause I've been cracking my brains for 3 hours straight now searching for the way.

Your code is already storing data from the csv in the variable line in your for loop. So when you print the line for the sample data you mentioned, it should look like ['Mike', ' 190', ' 75']. You could access the data directly in the line variable using indexes, or you could assign it to individual variables with a multi-assign statement like:

name, height, weight = line
