This code defines two functions: get_new_high and main. It then executes the main() function if the script is run as the main program. Here's what the code does step by step:

1. Function get_new_high(low_num, high_num):

• This function takes two arguments: low_num and high_num.
• It returns the result of subtracting high_num from low_num.

2. Function main():

• Initialization:

  • low_num is initialized to 0.
  • high_num is initialized to 1.

• First print statement:

  • The value of low_num (0) is printed.

• For loop (iterates 10 times):

  • Inside the loop:
    1. The current value of high_num is printed.
    2. new_high_num is calculated by calling get_new_high(low_num, high_num) (essentially computing low_num - high_num).
    3. low_num is updated to the current value of high_num.
    4. high_num is updated to the value of new_high_num.

Execution Flow:

• At the start, low_num = 0 and high_num = 1.
• The loop executes 10 times, and during each iteration:
  • The value of high_num is printed.
  • The new high_num is computed as low_num - high_num.
  • The values of low_num and high_num are updated.

Result:

The pattern of printed numbers is based on the iterative updates to low_num and high_num. Specifically, the sequence follows a method similar to generating a reverse Fibonacci sequence. Here’s how the values evolve:

| Iteration | low_num | high_num | Print Output | |-----------|-----------|------------|--------------| | Start | 0 | 1 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | -1 | 1 | | 2 | -1 | 2 | -1 | | 3 | 2 | -3 | 2 | | 4 | -3 | 5 | -3 | | 5 | 5 | -8 | 5 | | 6 | -8 | 13 | -8 | | 7 | 13 | -21 | 13 | | 8 | -21 | 34 | -21 | | 9 | 34 | -55 | 34 | | 10 | -55 | 89 | -55 |

So, the program outputs:
0, 1, -1, 2, -3, 5, -8, 13, -21, 34, -55 in sequence, one number per line.
