For each of the programs below, simulate it by hand using an environment diagram to predict what value will be printed. If you run into issues, first try debugging by hand and then using print statements in Python.

1) Part 1

ids = [3, -5, 1]
i = 0

while i < len(ids):
  ids[i] = ids[-i]
  i = i + 1

print(ids)

What value is printed?

2) Part 2

u = 10
v = 9
w = [6, -11, 3]
for i in range(len(w)):
    v = v - u*w[i]

print((u, v, i, "w"))

What value is printed?
