Q. No. Section – C (3 x 3 = 9 Marks) Marks
29 A) Write a Python function that extracts all unique words from a text file 3

30 A)You are given a nested list CityList where each element is a list representing a city
record in the format [CityName, Country, Population]. Write the following Python
functions to manipulate the stack MustVisitCities.
(i) Push_element(CityList, MustVisitCities): Push the city records where the
population is more than 1 million.
(ii) Pop_element(MustVisitCities): Pop and display the city records until the stack is
empty, and print "Stack Empty" afterward.
For example: If the nested list contains the following data:
CityList = [['New York', 'USA', 8.4], ['Tokyo', 'Japan', 9.3],['Zurich', 'Switzerland', 0.8],
['Delhi', 'India', 18.6]]

B) Consider a Nested List ‘Inventory’ in which all the elements are lists of the
format – [ItemID, ItemName, Price, Quantity]. Write the following user defined
functions in python to perform the task specified on the stack named ‘items’ which
is initially an empty list.
• Push_item(Inventory) – It takes nested list Inventory as argument and pushes
3
records of those items onto stack which have quantity > 100.
• Pop_items() –It repeatedly pops the top element of stack and displays it.
Appropriate message should be displayed when there are no more elements left in
the stack.
For example, if
Inventory = [[101, ‘Pen’, 10, 120],
[102, ‘Pencil’, 10, 100],
[103, ‘Eraser’, 5, 90],
[104, ‘Notebook’, 20, 52],
[105, ‘Marker’, 30, 130],
[106, ‘Sharpener’, 5, 110],]
After execution of Push_Items(Inventory), Stack should contain:
[[101, ‘Pen’, 10, 120], [105, ‘Marker’, 30, 130], [106, ‘Sharpener’, 5, 110]] Top
The output after Pop_Items() should be:
[106, ‘Sharpener’, 5, 110]
[105, ‘Marker’, 30, 130]
[101, ‘Pen’, 10, 120]
Stack Empty
31 Predict the output of the following code: 3
(i)
s = "Le@rn@Python#24"
m = ""
for i in range(len(s)):
if s[i].isupper():
m=m+s[i]
elif s[i].islower():
m=m+s[i].upper()
elif i % 2 != 0:
m += s[i] * 2
else:
m += s[i-1]
print(m)
[5]
 OR
Predict the output of the following code:
(ii)
x = 25
def modify(s, c=2):
global x
for a in s:
if a in 'qweIOP':
x //= 5
print(a.upper(),'@',c*x)
else:
x += 5
print(a.lower(),'#',c+x)
string = 'Pytho'
modify(string,10)
print(x, '$', string)
