box['cake']=4
print (box)
jars['jam']=4
print (jars)
crates['box']=box

The output should be

101010
One#
202020
Two#
303030
Three#

Code:

' ' ' Python code to display the elements of list thrice if it is a number and display the
elements terminated with # if it is not a number. ' ' '
def disp(l):
for i in l:
if i.isdigit():
 print(i*3)
else:
print(i+'#')
print()
List1=eval(input("Enter the list :"))
disp(List1)

Output
Enter the list :['10', 'one', '20', 'two', '30', 'three']

3. Write a function in python to count the number of lines in “POEM.txt” that begins with
Upper case character.

Python code:
''' To write a function in python to count the number of lines in “POEM.txt” that begins
with Upper case character '''
def disp():
n=0
file=open("C:\\Users\\admin\\Desktop\\Poem.txt",'r')
line=file.readlines()
for i in line:
if i[0].isupper():
n+=1
file.close()
return n
count=disp()
print(count)

Sample file Poem.txt:

The Queen of Hearts
she made some tarts,
All on a summer's day;
the Knave of Hearts
He stole those tarts,
And took them clean away.
