This sounds like homework. You'll need to go back to the problem
you've been given, figure out what you're actually trying to
accomplish, and then break that down into several pieces. We're happy
to help you learn, but we will not just do the assignment for you, as
that's counter-productive for all of us.

If it *isn't* homework, please explain in much more detail what it is
you're trying to do here.
