30 Thushar received a message(string) that has upper case and lower-case alphabet. He want to 3
extract all the upper case letters separately .Help him to do his task by performing the
following user defined function in Python:
a) Push the upper case alphabets from the string into a STACK
b) Pop and display the content of the stack.
For example:
If the message is “All the Best for your Pre-board Examination”
The output should be : E P B A

Or
 Consider a list named Nums which contains random integers. Write the following user
defined functions in Python and perform the specified operations on a stack named
BigNums.
(i) PushBig () : It checks every number from the list Nums and pushes all such numbers
which have 5 or more digits into the stack, BigNums.
(ii) PopBig () : It pops the numbers from the stack, BigNums and displays them. The
function should also display "Stack Empty" when there are no more numbers left in the
stack.
For example: If the list Nums contains the following data :
Nums = [213,10025, 167, 254923, 14, 1297653, 31498, 386 ,92765]
Then on execution of PushBig () , the stack BigNums should store :
[10025, 254923, 1297653, 31498, 92765]
And on execution of PopBig () , the following output should be displayed :
92765
31498
1297653
254923
10025
Stack Empty
