Transcribed Image Text:### Function Definition: build_csv_string(data)
This function, `build_csv_string(data)`, processes a list of lists, `data`, and converts it into a CSV string. The structure of each sublist is variable, where the length can be 1, 2, or 3, and each length has specific content requirements:
- **Length 1**: Includes only a name (as a string).
- **Length 2**: Includes a name and an assignment title (both as strings).
- **Length 3**: Includes a name, an assignment title, and a score (as either a float or an integer).
### Function Purpose
The function's goal is to return a CSV-formatted string where each sublist represents a record. The first line of the CSV string serves as a header and should be formatted as: `'name, assignment, grade\n'`.
### Handling Missing Data
- **Missing Grade**: Sublists that lack a grade should default the grade value to `0`.
- **Missing Assignment Title**: If the assignment title is missing, it should default to `'N/A'`.
Through this approach, the function ensures a consistent output format, handling any incomplete data by providing sensible defaults.
![**Examples** (values in **bold** are returned):
```python
>>> build_csv_string([["Sam", "Lab 01", 5.4]])
'name,assignment,grade\nSam,Lab 01,5.4'
```
```python
>>> build_csv_string([["Sam", "Lab 01", 5.4], ["Zoe"]])
'name,assignment,grade\nSam,Lab 01,5.4\nZoe,N/A,0'
```
```python
>>> build_csv_string([["Sam", "Lab 01", 5.4], ["Zoe"], ["Amanda", "Quiz 04", 100]])
'name,assignment,grade\nSam,Lab 01,5.4\nZoe,N/A,0\nAmanda,Quiz 04,100'
