38. What is a stack data structure, and what are its fundamental operations? (3)
Ans: A stack is a linear data structure that follows the Last-In, First-Out
(LIFO) principle. It has two primary operations: "push" to add an element to
the top of the stack and "pop" to remove the top element. Additionally, it
typically supports "peek" to view the top element without removing it and
"isEmpty" to check if the stack is empty. Stacks are commonly used for
managing function calls, undo functionality, and other scenarios where the
order of data retrieval is crucial.
39. (a) Praveena of class 12 is writing a program to create a CSV file “clients.csv”. She (4 + 1)
has written the following code to read the content of file clients.csv and display the
clients’ record whose name begins with “A‟ and also count as well as show no. of
clients with the first letter “A‟ out of total records. As a programmer, help her to
successfully execute the given task.
Consider the following CSV file (clients.csv):

1 Aditya 2021
2 Arjun 2018
3 Aryan 2016
4 Sagar 2022
 Read the questions given below and fill in the gaps accordingly: (1 + 1 + 2)

2.Mention the name of the mode in which she should open a file.
3.Fill in the gaps for given statements – Line-2 and Line-3.
Ans:
1. csv
2. r mode
3. Line 2 – “client.csv”,”r” and Line 3 – reader
(b) The explicit conversion of an operand to a specific type is called ______.
Ans: Type casting.
40. (a) Write a function PUSH(L) and POP(Stk), where L is List of integers and Stk is a (3+1)
stack. In PUSH function create two stack StkO and StkE, then read the list L and
push all the even element in StkE and push all the odd element in StkO. At last
return both the stacks. In POP function pop the number from the stack and
display.

Ans:
def PUSH(L):
StkO = []
StkE = []
for i in L:
if i%2 == 0:
StkE.append(i)
 else:
StkO.append(i)
return StkO, StkE
def POP(Stk):
if len(Stk) == 0
print(“Stack is Empty”)
else:
while len(Stk) != 0:
print(Stk.pop())

(b) How Peek in Stack described to use as Python code?

Ans: We can use <stack>[top], where <stack> is a list and [top] is an integer
having value equal to len(<stack>) -1, ie., top = len(stk) – 1.
41. Consider the following code and answer the questions that follow: (4+1)
Book={1:'Thriller', 2:'Mystery', 3:'Crime', 4:'Children Stories'}
Library ={'5':'Madras Diaries','6':'Malgudi Days'}
(1) Ramesh needs to change the title in the dictionary book from ‘Crime’ to ‘Crime
Thriller’. He has written the following command:
>>> Book[‘Crime’] = ’Crime Thriller’
But he is not getting the answer. Help him choose the correct command:
a. Book[2]=’Crime Thriller’
b. Book[3]=’Crime Thriller’
c. Book[2]=(’Crime Thriller’)
d. Book[3] =(‘Crime Thriller’)
Answer: b. Book[3]=’Crime Thriller’

(2) The command to merge the dictionary Book with Library the command would
be:
a. d=Book+Library
b. print(Book+Library)
c. Book.update(Library)
d. Library.update(Book)
Answer: d. Library.update(Book)

(3) What will be the output of the following line of code:

>>> print(list(Library))
a. [‘5’,’Madras Diaries’,’6’,’Malgudi Days’]
b. (‘5’,’Madras Diaries’,’6’,’Malgudi Days’)
c. [’Madras Diaries’,’Malgudi Days’]
d. [‘5’,’6’]
Answer: d. [‘5’,’6’]

(4) In order to check whether the key 2 is present in the dictionary Book, Ramesh
uses the following command:
>>> 2 in Book
He gets the answer ‘True’. Now to check whether the name ‘Madras Diaries’ exists
in the dictionary Library, he uses the following command:
>>> ‘Madras Diaries’ in Library
But he gets the answer as ‘False’. Select the correct reason for this:
a. We cannot use the in function with values. It can be used with keys only.
b. We must use the function Library.values() along with the in operator
c. We can use the Library.items() function instead of the in operator
d. Both b and c above are correct.
Answer: b. We must use the function Library.values() along with the in operator

(5) What are in and not in membership operators in dictionary? Write its syntax.

Ans: These operators check whether a specific key is present in dictionaries or

not. If present the result will be True else False.
Syntax: key in Dict_name and key not in Dict_name.
