A marine research agency is operating an autonomous deep-sea drone navigating through depth sectors of an ocean trench represented as an array.

Index	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
Content			V				V

The drone begins at index 0 of the trench array.
The goal is to reach the seabed, which is the final index of the array (target_depth).
At each step, the operator is prompted to enter a descent step value: 1, 2, 3, or 4.
- The drone's depth position is increased by the inputted step value.
If the drone's new depth exceeds the final index of the array, or lands on an index containing the hydrothermal vent character 'V':
- The message "System overheat! Returning to surface." is displayed.
- The drone's depth position is reset to 0.
These steps repeat until the drone successfully reaches (or lands exactly on) the final depth index of the array.

depth = 0
target_depth = len(trench) - 1
while depth < target_depth:

Extend the program from Figure 3 so that the navigation simulation works as described in the rules in Figure 2.

When writing your program, you should assume:

You should use meaningful variable names and correct programming syntax in your answer.
