Name: [Eng, Math, Science] as key:value pairs. The function displays
the corresponding grade obtained by the students according to the
following grading rules-

Q No Section-C (3 x 3 = 9 Marks) Marks

A dictionary, StudRec, contains the records of students in the following

pattern-
{admno: [m1, m2, m3, m4, m5]}

i.e., Admission No. (admno) as the key and 5 subject marks in the list
29 (3)
as the value.
Each of these records is nested together to form a nested dictionary.

Write the following user-defined functions in the Python code to perform

the specified operations on the stack named BRIGHT.
 (i) Push_Bright(StudRec): it takes the nested dictionary as an
argument and pushes a list of dictionary objects or elements
containing data as {admno: total (sum of 5 subject marks)} into
the stack named BRIGHT of those students with a total mark
>350.
(ii) Pop_Bright(): It pops the dictionary objects from the stack and
displays them. Also, the function should display “Stack is Empty”
when there are no elements in the stack.
For Example: if the nested dictionary StudRec contains the following
data:
StudRec={101:[80,90,80,70,90],102:[50,60,45,50,40],103:[90,90,99,98,90]}

Then Stack BRIGHT Should contain: [{101: 410}, {103: 467}]

The Output Should be:
{103: 467}
{101: 410}
If the stack BRIGHT is empty then display: Stack is Empty

If the sample content of the list is as follows:
N=[12,13,34,56,21,79,98,22,35,38]
Sample output of the code should be:
38 22 98 56 34 12

A list, NList contains following record as list elements:
[City, Country, distance from Delhi]
Each of these records are nested together to form a nested list. Write the
following user defined functions in Python to perform the specified
operations on the stack named travel.

(i) Push_element(NList): It takes the nested list as an argument and pushes

a list object containing name of the city and country, which are not in India
and distance is less than 3500 km from Delhi.

(ii) Pop_element(): It pops the objects from the stack and displays them.
Also, the function should display “Stack Empty” when there are no elements
in the stack. For example:
If the nested list contains the following data:

NList=[["New York", "U.S.A.", 11734],

["Naypyidaw", "Myanmar", 3219],
["Dubai", "UAE", 2194],
["London", "England", 6693],
["Gangtok", "India", 1580],
["Columbo", "Sri Lanka", 3405]]
The stack should contain:
['Naypyidaw', 'Myanmar'],
['Dubai', 'UAE'],
['Columbo', 'Sri Lanka']
The output should be:
['Columbo', 'Sri Lanka']

publication_year.
Write the following user-defined functions in Python to perform the specified
operations on the stack BooksStack:
(I) push_book(BooksStack, new_book): This function takes the stack
BooksStack and a new book record new_book as arguments and pushes
the new book record onto the stack.

operations:

1. Connect to the MySQL database: Assume the database is named STOREDB, the
user is admin, and the password is admin123. The MySQL is available on a local
computer, not a remote computer.
2. Create a table: The table INVENTORY should have the following columns:
o ProductID (INTEGER, Primary Key, Auto Increment)
o ProductName (VARCHAR(100))
o Price (FLOAT(8,2))
o PurchaseDate (DATE)
3. Insert data into the table: Insert at least three records with sample data into the
INVENTORY table.
4. Retrieve and display all records: Write a Python function that retrieves all records
from the INVENTORY table and prints them in a readable format.

subject marks in the list as the value.
Each of these records is nested together to form a nested dictionary. Write the
following user-defined functions in the Python code to perform the specified
operations on the stack named BRIGHT.
(i) Push_Bright(StudRec): it takes the nested dictionary as an argument and pushes a
list of dictionary objects or elements containing data as {admno: total (sum of 5
subject marks)} into the stack named BRIGHT of those students with a total mark
>350.
(ii) Pop_Bright(): It pops the dictionary objects from the stack and displays them. Also,
the function should display “Stack is Empty” when there are no elements in the stack.
For Example: if the nested dictionary StudRec contains the following data:
