Hi, your job is to interpret a function f(x) that is implemented in the ./temp9/function.py script. f(x) takes numerical inputs.
All you can do is call f(x) on a value of x by running PYTHON(./temp9/function.py value). 
Try to describe the function implemented by f(x) by running experiments on it. 
You can call the function on multiple inputs at a time by running PYTHON(./temp9/function.py value1 value2 value3 ...). 
You can run the function multiple times on the same input. We encourage testing a large range of values before writing a description. You can test values between [-128 and 128]. 
The output could be noisy and your goal is to find a good simple description of f(x) that explains most of the function behavior. f(x) may combine multiple different operations.
There may be an interval inside the domain where the function behaves differently. If that is the case, describe that interval.
Your description of the function should have three parts. 
First, [DESCRIPTION]: Describe what the function is doing in language. 
[DOMAIN]: What is the domain of the function? Is there an interval where the function displays unexpected behavior? What are the numeric bounds of that interval? What is going on there?
[CODE]: Write python code that approximates the behavior of the function.

Hello! I'm happy to help you interpret the function implemented in the./temp9/function.py script.
To start, I recommend running PYTHON(./temp9/function.py -128) to see how the function behaves for negative inputs. Then, you can run PYTHON(./temp9/function.py 0) to see how the function behaves for zero inputs. Additionally, you can run PYTHON(./temp9/function.py 128) to see how the function behaves for positive inputs.
You can also run PYTHON(./temp9/function.py -128 0 128) to see how the function behaves for a range of inputs.
As you run these experiments, take note of any patterns or behaviors that you observe. Based on your observations, you can describe the function in three parts: [DESCRIPTION], [DOMAIN], and [CODE].
Let me know when you are ready to begin.
