of numbers. The function returns the value deleted from the stack.
30. (i) You have a stack named BooksStack that contains records of books. Each book
record is represented as a list containing book_title, author_name, and
publication_year.

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.
(II) pop_book(BooksStack): This function pops the topmost book record from
the stack and returns it. If the stack is already empty, the function should
display "Underflow".

of customers who live in Goa
(ii)pop_element():To pop the objects from the stack and display
them.Also,display “Stack Empty” when there are no elements in the stack.
For example:
If the lists of customer details are:
[“Gurdas”,”999999”,”Goa”]
[“Julee”,”888888”,Mumbai”]
[“Murugan”,”77777”,”Cochin”]
[“Ashmit”,”10101010”,”Goa”]
The stack should contain:
[“Ashmit”,”10101010”]
[“Gurdas”,”999999”]
The output should be:
[“Ashmit”,”10101010”]
[“Gurdas”,”999999”]
Stack Empty
31. (i) Write the following user defined functions :
(i) PushEven(N) – This function accepts a list of integers named N as parameter.
It then pushes only ever numbers into the stack named EVEN.
(ii) POPEvent(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.
(OR)
(ii) Write the output of the following program :
str= “CBSE Digital India”
for i in range(len(str)-1, 0, -1) :
if str[i].isupper( ):
print(str[i].lower( ), end= “ ”)
elif i%2==0:
if str[i].islower( ):
print(str[i].upper( ), end= “ ”)
else:
print(“@”, end= “ ”)

count=1
for i in L :
if i in [‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’]:
X=X+i.swapcase( )
else:
if((count %2)!=0):
X=X+str((len(L[:count])))
else:
X=X+i
count=count+1
print(X)
(OR)
(ii) Write a function LShift(arr, n) in python which accepts a list arr of numbers and
where n is a numeric value by which all elements of the list are shifted to the left.
sample input data of the list arr=[10,20,30,40,12,11]
n=2
output arr = [30,40,12,11,10,20]
