[City, Country, distance from Delhi]
Each of these records are nested together to form a nested list. Write the
following user defined functions in Python to perform the specified
operations on the stack named travel.

32 Vedansh is a Python programmer working in a school. For the Annual

Sports Event, he has created a csv file named Result.csv, to store the
results of students in different sports events. The structure of Result.csv
is :
[St_Id, St_Name, Game_Name, Result]
Where
St_Id is Student ID (integer)
ST_name is Student Name (string)
Game_Name is name of game in which student is participating(string)
Result is result of the game whose value can be either 'Won', 'Lost'
or 'Tie'
For efficiently maintaining data of the event, Vedansh wants to write the
following user defined functions:
Accept() – to accept a record from the user and add it to the file
Result.csv. The column headings should also be added on top of the csv
file.
wonCount() – to count the number of students who have won any
event. As a Python expert, help him complete the task.
