result of the two passed strings. [3]

those names in the stack named OnlyA which contain the letter 'A'.
ii. POPA(OnlyA) - This function pops each name from the stack OnlyA and
displays it. When the stack is empty, the message "EMPTY" is displayed. For
example:
If the names in the list N are
['ANKITA', 'NITISH', 'ANWAR', 'DIMPLE', 'HARKIRAT']

then the function should display the sum of 123, 13, 23, i.e. 159 as follows:
Sum of integers ending with digit 3 = 159

works with p2.txt. Explain the reason behind this output.
fp1 = open("p2.txt", "r") print(fp1.readline(20)) s1 = fp1.readline(30) print(s1)
