CSV Contact Book Python Challenge

Level: Beginner

Your task for today is to build a contact book in Python that stores names, phone numbers, and email addresses in a CSV file. This project will teach you how to gather user input, work with CSVs, and display stored data — all useful skills for handling structured information.

📝 Project Task

The program should:

• Prompt the user to enter a name, phone, and email.

• Save the information to a .csv file (e.g. contacts.csv).

• Add a feature to display all saved contacts (formatted nicely in the terminal).

This is a great real-world use case of Python’s built-in csv module and a chance to practice building simple utilities that persist data.

📌 Expected Output

When you run the program, it should:

1. Ask the user to input name, phone, and email.

2. Save that data to a CSV file.

3. Ask if the user wants to view all saved contacts.

4. If yes, it should print all contacts from the CSV.

Example interaction in the terminal:

Enter name: Alice
Enter phone: 123456789
Enter email: alice@example.com
Contact saved.

View all contacts? yes

Name: Alice
Phone: 123456789
Email: alice@example.com

That will generate a contacts.csv file:
