ASSIGNMENT – STACK

2022 SQP : 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

2022 SQP : Alam has a list containing 10 integers. 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 the even numbers into a stack.
▪ Pop and display the content of the stack.
For Example:
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

SQP 2021 : Write a function in Python PUSH(Arr), where Arr is a list of numbers. From this list push all numbers
divisible by 5 into a stack implemented by using a list.
Display the stack if it has at least one element, otherwise display appropriate error message.
SQP 2021 : Write a function in Python POP(Arr), where Arr is a stack implemented by a list of numbers. The function
returns the value deleted from the stack.

SQP 2020 : Write a function in python, MakePush(Package) and MakePop(Package) to add a new Package and delete
a Package from a List of Package Description,
considering them to act as push and pop operations of the Stack data structure.

2020 Comptt: Write functions in Python for PushS(List) and for PopS(List) for performing Push and Pop operations with
a stack of List containing integers.

2020 Comptt: Write functions in Python for InsertQ(Names) and for RemoveQ(Names) for performing insertion and
removal operations with a Stack of List which contains
names of students.

2021 Comptt: Write the definition of a function POP_PUSH(LPop, LPush, N) in Python. The function should Pop out the
last N elements of the list LPop and Push them into
the list LPush. For example :
If the contents of the list LPop are [10, 15, 20, 30] And value of N passed is 2,
then the function should create the list LPush as [30, 20] And the list LPop should now contain [10, 15]
NOTE : If the value of N is more than the number of elements present in LPop, then display the message
"Pop not possible".

2021 Comptt: Write a function in Python POPSTACK(L) where L is a stack implemented by a list of numbers. The
function returns the value deleted from the stack.

2022 Comptt: Write separate user defined functions for the following :
(i) PUSH(N) - This function accepts a list of names, N as parameter. It then pushes only those names in the
stack named OnlyA which contain the letter 'A'.
(ii) POPA(OnlyA) - This function pops each name from the stack OnlyA and displays it. When the stack is
empty, the message "EMPTY" is displayed.
For example :
If the names in the list N are
['ANKITA', 'NITISH', 'ANWAR', 'DIMPLE', 'HARKIRAT']
Then the stack OnlyA should store
['ANKITA', 'ANWAR', 'HARKIRAT']
And the output should be displayed as
HARKIRAT ANWAR ANKITA EMPTY

2022 Comptt: Write the following user defined functions :

(i) pushEven(N) - This function accepts a list of integers named N as parameter. It then pushes only even
numbers into the stack named EVEN.
(ii) popEven(EVEN) - This function pops each integer from the stack EVEN and displays the popped value.
When the stack is empty, the message "Stack Empty"
is displayed.
For example:
If the list N contains :
[10,5,3,8,15,4]
Then the stack, EVEN should store
[10,8,4]
And the output should be
4 8 10 Stack Empty
2022 : “Stack is a linear data structure which follows a particular order in which the operations are performed.”
What is the order in which the operations are
performed in a Stack?
Name the List method/function available in Python which is used to remove the last element from a list
implemented stack.
Also write an example using Python statements for removing the last element of the list.
2022 : Write the definition of a user defined function PushNV(N) which accepts a list of strings in the parameter
N and pushes all strings which have no vowels present
in it, into a list named NoVowel.
Write a program in Python to input 5 Words and push them one by one into a list named All. The program
should then use the function PushNV() to create a
stack of words in the list NoVowel so that it stores only those words which do not have any vowel present
in it, from the list All. Thereafter, pop each word
from the list NoVowel and display the popped word. When the stack is empty, display the message
"EmptyStack".
For example:
If the Words accepted and pushed into the list All are
['DRY', 'LIKE', 'RHYTHM', 'WORK', 'GYM']
Then the stack NoVowel should store
['DRY', 'RHYTHM', 'GYM']
And the output should be displayed as
GYM RHYTHM DRY EmptyStack

2022 : Write the definition of a user defined function Push3_5(N) which accepts a list of integers in a parameter
N and pushes all those integers which are divisible by
3 or divisible by 5 from the list N into a list named Only3_5.
Write a program in Python to input 5 integers into a list named NUM. The program should then use the
function Push3_5() to create the stack of the list
Only3_5. Thereafter pop each integer from the list Only3_5 and display the popped value. When the list
is empty, display the message "StackEmpty".
For example:
If the integers input into the list NUM are :
[10,6,14,18,30]
Then the stack Only3_5 should store
[10,6,18,30]
And the output should be displayed as
30 18 6 10 StackEmpty
