Solve the following python programming problem given the following code:
# Length of transmission (in km)
L = 5000

# fiber nonlinearity coefficient
gamma = 1.27

Pn = -21.3 # noise power (in dBm)

Kstep = 50 # number of steps used in the channel model

# noise variance per step    
sigma_n = np.sqrt((10**((Pn-30)/10)) / Kstep / 2)    

# def simulate_channel(x, Pin, constellation):  
#     # modulate bpsk
#     input_power_linear = 10**((Pin-30)/10)
#     norm_factor = 1 / np.sqrt(np.mean(np.abs(constellation)**2)/input_power_linear)
#     modulated = constellation[x] * norm_factor
#     
# 
#     temp = np.array(modulated, copy=True)
#     for i in range(Kstep):
#         power = np.absolute(temp)**2
#         rotcoff = (L / Kstep) * gamma * power
#         
#         temp = temp * np.exp(1j*rotcoff) + sigma_n*(np.random.randn(len(x)) + 1j*np.random.randn(len(x)))
#     return temp
Given the above code, generate some markdown instructions for it.

#Here is the Python program you requested.

Specify the parameters of the transmission as the fiber length $L$ (in km), the fiber nonlinearity coefficienty $\gamma$ (given in 1/W/km) and the total noise power $P_n$ (given in dBM. The noise is due to amplified spontaneous emission in amplifiers along the link). We assume a model of a dispersion-less fiber affected by nonlinearity. The model, which is described for instance in [1] is given by an iterative application of the equation
$$
x_{k+1} = x_k\exp\left(\jmath\frac{L}{K}\gamma|x_k|^2\right) + n_{k+1},\qquad 0 \leq k < K
$$
where $x_0$ is the channel input (the modulated, complex symbols) and $x_K$ is the channel output. $K$ denotes the number of steps taken to simulate the channel Usually $K=50$ gives a good approximation.
