30 A list contains following record of course details for a University: 3
[Course_name, Fees, Duration]
Write the following user defined functions to perform given operations on the stack named 'Univ':
(a) Push_element(CourseStack,newCourse): To push an object containing the Course_name, Fees, and
Duration of a course, which has fee greater than 100000 to the stack.
(b) Pop_element(CourseStack): To pop the object from the stack and display it. Also, display
"Underflow" when there is no element in the stack.
(c) Peek_element(CourseStack): This function displays the topmost course record from the stack without
delete it. If the stack is empty display message “Empty Stack”

For Example:
If the lists of courses details are:
["MCA", 200000, 3]
["MBA", 500000, 2]
["BA", 100000, 3]
The stack should contain:
["MCA", 200000, 3]
["MBA", 500000, 2]
OR
Write separate user defined functions for the following:
(a) 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'

is empty, the message "EMPTY" is displayed.
(c) Traverse(OnmyA) : Display all elements. If the stack is empty display message “Empty Stack”

For Example:
If the names in the list N are
['ANKITA','NITISH','ANWAR','DIPLE','HARKIRAT']
Then the stack OnlyA should store
['ANKITA','ANWAR','HARKIRAT']
And the output should be displayed as
HARKIRAT ANWAR ANKITA EMPTY
