Braves Scorecard

Here is the code in Python to parse the CSV data:

import csv

def parse_csv(data):
    games = []
    for line in data.split('\n'):
        if not line:
            continue
        row = [x.strip() for x in line.split(',')]
        games.append(row)
    
    return games

games = parse_csv(csv_data)

for game in games[1:]:
    print(f"Game Date: {game[0]}")
    for i, team in enumerate(game[1:]):
        if i > 0:
            print(f"{team} vs. {game[i+1]}")

This script will take the CSV data as a string and parse it into a list of lists (where each inner list represents a game's data). It then prints out the date and score for each game.

However, we want to create an output in the following format:

Game Date,Home Score,Visitor Score

Here is how you can modify the code to achieve that:

import csv

def parse_csv(data):
    games = []
    home_team = None
    visitor_team = None
    
    for line in data.split('\n'):
        if not line:
            continue
        
        row = [x.strip() for x in line.split(',')]
        
        # Determine the teams playing each game
        if len(row) < 3:
            continue
            
        home_team = row[1]
        visitor_team = row[2]
        
        # Calculate the score for each team
        if 'F' in row[-2]:
            home_score = int(row[-2].split('F')[0])
            visit_score = int(row[-2].split('F')[1])
        else:
            home_score = 0
            visit_score = 0
            
        # Add the game to the list of games
        if 'F' in row[-2]:
            score_str = f"{home_score}-{visit_score}"
        elif row[3] == "W":
            score_str = "1-0"
        else:
            score_str = "X-X"
            
        games.append([row[0], home_team, visitor_team, score_str])
    
    return games

csv_data = """
Game Date,Home Team,Visitor Team
2002-08-20,Philadelphia Phillies,Braves
2002-09-02,Pittsburgh Pirates,Braves
2002-08-17,Baltimore Orioles,New York Mets
"""

games = parse_csv(csv_data)

for game in games:
    print(f"{game[0]}, {game[1]} ,{game[2]}, {game[3]}")

This version of the code will output the date and score for each game in the format Game Date, Home Team, Visitor Team, Score. The score is represented as a string, such as "X-X" or a simple number. Updated: August 3, 2025 at 9:58 AM
