pairs of 5 employees. Write separate functions to perform the following
operations:
● PUSH(HS, D), where HS is the stack and D is the dictionary which containing
names and salaries. Push the keys (name of the employee) of the dictionary into
a stack, where the corresponding value (salary) is greater than ₹75,000.
● POP(HS), where HS is the stack. Pop and display the content of the stack.
● PEEK(HS),This function displays the topmost element of the stack without
30 deleting it. If the stack is empty, the function should display 'None'. 3

 Write the definition of a user-defined function PUSH_ODD(N) which accepts
a list of integers in a parameter `N` and pushes all those integers which are
odd from the list `N` into a Stack named `OddNumbers`.

[10, 5, 8, 3, 12,11]
Then the stack `OddNumbers` should store: [5,3,11]
