What changes are you trying to make? (e.g. Adding or removing code, refactoring existing code, adding reports)

Adding code for Assignment 1.

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

How to use Visual Studio Code to run Jupyter Notebooks on a remote VM.

Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?

Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?

Had some trouble with GPG:

error: gpg failed to sign the data:
...
gpg: signing failed: Screen or window too small

user.signingkey and commit.gpgsign were set correctly in git.
export GPG_TTY=$(tty) was set in ~/.bashrc.

It turns out, the problem was my terminal window was too small.

But this workaround worked for me:

echo "test" | gpg --clearsign

How were these changes tested?

I ran the notebook and verified the results of invoking the functions with different arguments matched the expected values.
