By using the properties of definite integrals,evaluate the integral $\int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{7} x \, dx$.
(0) Let $I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{7} x \, dx$ ..... $(1)$
Let $f(x) = \sin^{7} x$.
Check if the function is even or odd:
$f(-x) = \sin^{7}(-x) = (\sin(-x))^{7} = (-\sin x)^{7} = -\sin^{7} x = -f(x)$.
Since $f(-x) = -f(x)$,the function $f(x) = \sin^{7} x$ is an odd function.
According to the property of definite integrals,if $f(x)$ is an odd function,then $\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) \, dx = 0$.
Therefore,$I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{7} x \, dx = 0$.
Let $f(x) = \sin^{7} x$.
Check if the function is even or odd:
$f(-x) = \sin^{7}(-x) = (\sin(-x))^{7} = (-\sin x)^{7} = -\sin^{7} x = -f(x)$.
Since $f(-x) = -f(x)$,the function $f(x) = \sin^{7} x$ is an odd function.
According to the property of definite integrals,if $f(x)$ is an odd function,then $\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) \, dx = 0$.
Therefore,$I = \int_{-\frac{\pi}{2}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \sin^{7} x \, dx = 0$.

On the real line $R$,we define two functions $f$ and $g$ as follows:
$f(x) = \min \{x - [x], 1 - x + [x]\}$
$g(x) = \max \{x - [x], 1 - x + [x]\}$
where $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer function. The positive integer $n$ for which $\int_0^n (g(x) - f(x)) \, dx = 100$ is:
