-    Parses the 'location' parameter from input to determine the

-
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    string : str
-        A string that describes the location or range of locations of
-        the asset.  It can be a single number, a range (e.g., '3-7'),
-        'all', 'top', 'roof', or 'last'.
-    stories : int
-        The total number of locations in the asset, used to interpret
-        relative terms like 'top' or 'roof', or to generate a range
-        for 'all'.
-
-    Returns
-    -------
-    list of int or None
-        A list of integers representing each floor specified by the
-        string. Returns None if the string does not conform to
-        expected formats.
-
-    Raises
-    ------
-    ValueError
-        Raises an exception if the string contains a range that is not
-        interpretable (e.g., non-integer values or logical
-        inconsistencies in the range).
