PROGRAM EXPLANATION
Algorithm and explanation
- Import the required standard-library tools and prepare the sample data for combine mappings with chainmap.
- Apply ChainMap and Mapping to compute the required result.
- Display the result for combine mappings with chainmap and compare it with the documented sample output.
This example of combine mappings with chainmap computes the result directly from the prepared sample data. It demonstrates ChainMap and Mapping and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

DEBUGGING CHECKLIST
Common mistakes
For combine mappings with chainmap, keep the data shape and value types consistent with ChainMap.
Apply ChainMap in the same order shown by the algorithm; changing the order can change the result.
Verify the final ChainMap and Mapping result against the sample before trying new data.
