insensitive) in the file.
Example: If the file content is as follows:
It rained yesterday
It might rain today
I wish it rains tomorrow too
I love Rain

"Doctor":
(I) push_doctor(Doctor, new_Dr): This function takes the stack Doctor and a new record
new_Dr as arguments and pushes the new record onto the stack.

returns it. If the stack is already empty, the function should display "Underflow".

data type but mismatched or inappropriate values
ii). Give an example code to handle ValueError? The code should display the message "Enter
the correct value" in case of ValueError exception, and the message "Some error occurred" in
case of any other exception.-3
try:
numerator=50
denom=int(input("Enter the denominator"))
quotient=(numerator/denom)

Text file: A text file allows for easy maintenance of data, as it can be opened and
manipulated with any text editor also.

CSV File: A CSV file allows for easy maintenance of data, as it can be opened and
manipulated with any spreadsheet application also.

Binary File: A binary file cannot be opened and manipulated with any general
purpose application, and hence, it prevents any unintentional change in the data
