29 Write function Count_Robot() in python to read a text file “Moon.txt” and count the 3
number of times the word “robot “(all cases) occurs in the file.

30 A list, NList contains following record as list elements: 3

[City, Country, distance from Delhi]

Each of these records are nested together to form a nested list. Write the following user
defined functions in Python to perform the specified operations on the stack named
travel.

i) Push_element(NList): It takes the nested list as an argument and pushes a list object
containing name of the city and country, which are not in India and distance is less than
3500 km from Delhi.

ii) Pop_element(): It pops the objects from the stack and displays them. Also, the
function should display “Stack Empty” when there are no elements in the stack.

For example: If the nested list contains the following data:

NList=[["New York", "U.S.A.", 11734], ["Naypyidaw", "Myanmar", 3219],

["Dubai", "UAE", 2194], ["London", "England", 6693],
["Gangtok", "India", 1580], ["Columbo", "Sri Lanka", 3405]]

After execution of Push_element(NList) the ‘travel’ stack should contain:

['Naypyidaw', 'Myanmar'], ['Dubai', 'UAE'], ['Columbo', 'Sri Lanka']

The output should be: [while executing Pop_element()]

['Columbo', 'Sri Lanka']

['Dubai', 'UAE']
['Naypyidaw', 'Myanmar']
