PROGRAM EXPLANATION
Algorithm and explanation
- Initialize the sample values used to apply bayes theorem.
- Apply Bayes theorem and Posterior to compute the required result.
- Display the result for apply bayes theorem and compare it with the documented sample output.
This example of apply bayes theorem computes the result directly from the prepared sample data. It demonstrates Bayes theorem and Posterior and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

DEBUGGING CHECKLIST
Common mistakes
Check this
For apply bayes theorem, keep the data shape and value types consistent with Bayes theorem.
Check this
Apply Bayes theorem in the same order shown by the algorithm; changing the order can change the result.
Check this
Check denominators, numeric ranges and rounding before comparing the calculated value.
Try it yourself
Practice: Run the program with the sample input, predict its output, and then test one boundary case of your own.
