(II) pop_Item(ItemsStack): This function pops the topmost Item
record from the stack and returns it. If the stack is already
empty, the function should display "Underflow".
(III) (III) peep(ItemsStack): This function displays the topmost
element of the stack without deleting it. If the stack is empty,
the function should display 'None'.

returns it. If the stack is already empty, the function should display
"Empty".
