    Method 2: Using csv.DictWriter for Dictionaries

    1. Import the csv module.

    2. Prepare your data as a list of dictionaries, with keys matching the desired column headers.

    3. Open the target CSV file in write mode with newline=''.

    4. Define a list of field names for the CSV header.

    5. Create a csv.DictWriter(file_object, fieldnames=fieldnames) object.
