Q5. Julie has created a dictionary containing names and marks as key value pairs of 6 students.
Write a program, with separate user defined functions to perform the following operations
● Push the keys (name of the student) of the dictionary into a stack, where the
corresponding value (marks) is greater than 75.
● Pop and display the content of the stack.
For example: If the sample content of the dictionary is as follows:
R={"OM":76, "JAI":45, "BOB":89, "ALI":65, "ANU":90, "TOM":82}
The output from the program should be: TOM ANU BOB OM
Q6. Vaishnav has a list containing names of 10 cities. You need to help him create a program with
separate user defined functions to perform the following operations based on this list.
● Traverse the content of the list and push those names which are having more than 5
characters in it.
● Pop and display the content of the stack.
For Example: If the sample Content of the list is as follows: N=[“Paris”, “England”, “Mumbai”,
“Delhi”, “London”]
Sample Output of the code should be:
London Mumbai England
Q7.
You have a stack named ItemStack that contains records of some items. Each item record is
represented as a list containing Item_Name, Quantity, and Price. Write the following user-
defined functions in Python to perform the specified operations on the stack ItemStack:
(I) push_item(ItemStack, new_item): This function takes the stack ItemStack and a new item
record new_item as arguments and pushes the new item record onto the stack.
(II) pop_item(ItemStack): This function pops the topmost item record from the stack and returns
it. If the stack is already empty, the function should display "Underflow".
(III) peep(ItemStack): This function displays the topmost element of the stack without deleting it.
If the stack is empty, the function should display 'None'.
