Dear Group,

The logic seems going fine. I am just trying to cross check things once more,
so trying to generate the values and see on myself. 

I am trying to see this line,
prev_f_sum = sum(f_prev[k]*a[k][st] for k in states)

a[k][st], and f_prev[k] I could take out and understood.
Now as it is doing sum() so it must be over a list,
I am trying to understand the number of entities in the list, thinking whether to put len(), and see for which entities it is doing the sum.

Experimenting, if any one feels may kindly send any idea.

Regards,
Subhabrata Banerjee.
