Task 1

• Based on our discussions and assignments thus far, interpret this sequence (manually).
• Include a specific and detailed outline of what you did and why. Think about how each step could be implemented in python.
• Summarize your findings in "layman's terms", e.g. what would you, as a physician, tell your patient with this sequence?
