The question is asking to write in function in python having the following definition (signature) line "def test_for_poker_straight(hand_of_cards)" and Integrating this function into the code below and using this new function to calculate the probability of being dealt a five card poker straight. you can input (5 cards per 500 dealt)

Note:- A POKER STRAIGHT is here defined as FIVE CONSECUTIVE CARD VALUES.
