Python code to do csv file row entries comparison operations and count the number of times row value
- by Venomancer
have an excel based CSV file with two columns (or rows, Pythonically) that I am working on. What I need to do is to perform some operations so that I can compare the two data entries in each 'row'. To be more precise, one column has constant numbers all the way down, whereas the other column has varying values. So I need to count the number of times the varying column data entry values crosses the constant value on the other column. 
For example, fro the csv file i have two columns:
Varying Column; Constant Column 
24              25 
26              25   crossed 
27              25 
26              25
25.5            25 
23              25   crossed 
26              25   crossed 
Thus, the varying column data entries have crossed 25 three times. I need to generate a code that can count the number of the crosses. Please do help out, Thanks.
