    I hope this makes sense, I confused myself horribly trying to figure out a way
    to simplify this whole process and code it more professionally, I feel that my
    code looks sloppy. But in the process of trying to explain my question, my whole
    mind went numb and dumb, leaving me now very confused as to what I was trying to do
    in the first place. If any of you can decipher this and/or help me figure this out,
    please and thank you very much. '''
