You have a list PatientList where each element represents a patient record in the
format Name, Age, Department, Charges. Write Python functions to operate on 3
the stack SurgeryStack.

(i) Push_patient(PatientList, SurgeryStack): Push the names and ages of

the patients whose department is 'Surgery' and charges are greater than 250 onto the
stack.

(ii) Pop_patient(SurgeryStack): Pop and display the names of the patients from
the stack until it is empty, then print "Stack Empty".

(iii) Peek_patient(SurgeryStack): This function displays the topmost patient name

and age of the stack without deleting it. If the stack is empty, the function should display
'None'.

OR

Write a function filter_high_charges(PatientList) that accepts a list of

patients and pushes only the patients with charges greater than 300 into a stack called
HighChargePatients. Implement the following functions:

(i) Pop_high_charge(HighChargePatients): This function removes and returns

the top element from the HighChargePatients stack. If the stack is empty, then it
 returns None.

(ii) Display_high_charge(HighChargePatients): This function displays all

elements of the stack without deleting them. If the stack is empty, the function should
display None.

For example: If the patients' input into the list PatientList are:

PatientList = [('Sandeep', 65, 'Surgery', 300), ('Ravina', 24, 'Orthopaedic', 200), ('Ankita',
29, 'Cardiology', 800)]

Then the stack HighChargePatients should store: [('Ankita', 29,

'Cardiology', 800)]

data = [3, 5, 8]

result = "" 3
for number in data:

for i in range(1, number + 1):

result += str(i) + "!"

topology and illustrate it.

iii. Recommend the placement of the following devices with justifications:

a. Repeater
b. Hub/Switch
