A deep-sea diver must descend and ascend in short steps to equalize pressure on his body. If

the diver rises toward the surface too fast, he may suffer from a physical condition called “the bends.”
Suppose the diver started at 100 feet below the surface and rose in five steps of 15 feet each. Use an integer
to describe his new position in relation to the water surface.
