31. A dictionary, StudRec, contains the records of students in the following pattern:
{admno: [m1, m2, m3, m4, m5]}, i.e., Admission No. (admno) as the key and 5 subject marks in the list as
the value.
Each of these records is nested together to form a nested dictionary. Write the following user-defined
functions in the Python code to perform the specified operations on the stack named BRIGHT.

objects or elements containing data as {admno: total (sum of 5 subject marks)} into the stack named
BRIGHT of those students with a total mark >350.
(ii) Pop_Bright(): It pops the dictionary objects from the stack and displays them. Also, the function should
display “Stack is Empty” when there are no elements in the stack.
For Example: if the nested dictionary StudRec contains the following data:
StudRec={101:[80,90,80,70,90], 102:[50,60,45,50,40], 103:[90,90,99,98,90]}
Thes Stack BRIGHT Should contain: [{101: 410}, {103: 467}]
The Output Should be: {103: 467}
{101: 410}
If the stack BRIGHT is empty then display: Stack is Empty
OR

to the stack (ii) Pop_element() - To Pop the objects from the stack and display them. Also, display “Stack
Empty” when there are no elements in the stack.
For example:
If the lists of customer details are:
[“Gurdas”, “99999999999”,”Goa”]
[“Julee”, “8888888888”,”Mumbai”]
[“Murugan”,”77777777777”,”Cochin”]
[“Ashmit”, “1010101010”,”Goa”]
The stack should contain
[“Ashmit”,”1010101010”]
[“Gurdas”,”9999999999”]
The output should be:
[“Ashmit”,”1010101010”]
[“Gurdas”,”9999999999”]
Stack Empty
