Provide code that produces a list of numbers which is the n-th order forward difference, given a non-negative integer (specifying the order) and a list of numbers. The first-order forward difference of a list of numbers (A) is a new list (B) where B<sub>n</sub> = A<sub>n+1</sub> - A<sub>n</sub>. List B should have one fewer element as a result. The second-order forward difference of A will be the same as the first-order forward difference of B. That new list will have two fewer elements than A and one less than B. The goal of this task is to repeat this process up to the desired order.
