new city record new_city as arguments and pushes the new city
record onto the stack.
ii) POP_CITY(CITY): This function pops the topmost city record from the
stack and returns it. If the stack is already empty, the function should
display "Underflow".

is already empty, the function should display "Empty". Write function
DISP_NUM() to display all element of the stack without deleting them. If the stack
is empty, the function should display 'None'.
