Problem Statement
Write problem statement of already available one type of learning
example from available resources. The data must be in CSV format. The
aim is to extract features from given dataset and establish training data.

Procedure
Write and follow the standard procedure for your selected type of learning
example from available resources assigned to you.

Program Code
Write Algorithm, draw flow-chart of the Problem Statement selected by /
assigned to you. Also enclose a print-out of your Python Program Listing
(*.txt).
NOTE: No hand-written Program Listing is expected; it should be a Print-out!

Program Input
Also attach a print-out of the Dataset in form of *.csv file (comma
separated values) as an input.
