Gift Exchange

I have a CSV file of friends who want to be assigned in order to exchange gifts.

  1. Write a script that processes the CSV file below
  2. Randomly assign givers to receivers
  3. Print each person's email followed by the email of the person they're paired with (see expected output below)

Notes:

  • A person cannot give a gift to themselves
  • Ensure everyone gives only one gift, and receives only one gift
  • It should be random - if we run the script multiple times we should get different results.

Expected output:

turner_it_around@hotmail.com -> spatel76@gmail.com
spatel76@gmail.com -> ahmed@live.ca
ahmed@live.ca -> turner_it_around@hotmail.com
