This Python script mimics Babbage's Difference Engine

This Python script mimics Babbage’s Difference Engine.
In Use this Python script to simulate Babbage’s Difference Engine, Python offered an alternative solution to Babbage’s problem of determining the number of marbles in a two-dimensional pyramid. Babbage’s Difference Engine solved this using a table showing the number of marble rows and the total number of marbles.
