How to practise csv typing
A comma separates fields, but a quoted field can contain a comma as text. The samples are fictional and remain inert. The engine normalises whitespace, so each record is presented as a copying target rather than a complete multi-line CSV file. Do not add spaces that are absent inside quoted values.
What to check after a run
Check the number of separators and any doubled quote. An empty field is intentional; do not fill it from the preceding record.
