ransform([a(0), a(1), …, a(n)]) s = a(0) k = 1 while (k <= n) s = 5*s + a(k) k = k + 1 k = 0 while (s > 0) b(k) = s mod 7 s = floor(s/7) k = k + 1 return [b(0), b(1), …, b(k-1)] Trace transform([3, 1, 4, 0])

The code takes an input list [a(0), a(1), ..., a(n)] and performs a series of operations to transform it into a new list [b(0), b(1), ..., b(k-1)].

Here is a step-by-step breakdown of what the code does:

  1. Initialize a variable s with the value of a(0).
  2. Initialize a variable k with the value of 1.
  3. Enter a while loop that continues as long as k is less than or equal to n.
  4. Inside the loop, update s by multiplying it by 5 and adding the value of a(k).
  5. Increment k by 1.
  6. Exit the loop.
  7. Initialize a variable k with the value of 0.
  8. Enter a while loop that continues as long as s is greater than 0.
  9. Inside the loop, calculate the remainder of s divided by 7 and assign it to b(k).
  10. Update s by dividing it by 7 and taking the floor value.
  11. Increment k by 1.
  12. Exit the loop.
  13. Return the list [b(0), b(1), ..., b(k-1)].

For example, if you call the function transform([3, 1, 4, 0]), the result will be [2, 1, 2, 3].
