Convert CSV to PPM

The Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file extension, which is pivotal in data management, is used to store tabular data such as spreadsheets or databases. Each line in a CSV file corresponds to a data record, with fields separated by commas. Originating in the early days of personal computing, CSV files were designed for data interchange, enabling ease of data transfer between different software applications. CSV remains a universally supported and straightforward format for data storage and import/export operations due to its simplicity and efficiency.

The Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.
