8. Julie has created a dictionary containing names and marks as key value pairs of 6 students. Write a program, with separate user defined functions to perform the following operations:

> Push the keys (name of the student) of the dictionary into a stack, where the corresponding value (marks) is greater than 75.

> Pop and display the content of the stack.

For example:

If the sample content of the dictionary is as follows:

R={“OM”:76, “JAI”:45, “BOB”:89, “ALI”:65, “ANU”:90, “TOM”:82}

The output from the program should be:

TOM ANU BOB OM

Ans: 

R={“OM”:76, “JAI”:45, “BOB”:89,
“ALI”:65, “ANU”:90, “TOM”:82}
def PUSH(S,N):
S.append(N)
def POP(S):
if S!=[]:
return S.pop()
else:
return None
ST=[]
for k in R:
if R[k]>=75:
PUSH(ST,k)
while True:
if ST!=[]:
print(POP(ST),end=” “)
else:
break

OR

Circuit switching

> physical connection is established between sender and receiver

> Each data unit knows the entire path from sender to receiver

> It does not follow store and forward concept
