Please describe step by step how you go about doing it. I do not just desire answers, I want to know the step-by-step process and reasoning for it. Thank you in advance! My main focus is requirement 3 but if you feel so inclined and would also like to help me with requirement 4-a and 4-b I would really appreciate it.
