Easy!
> :information_source: **NOTE — SEQUENCE:** This is the third use of the `nSequence` value in Bitcoin. Any `nSequence` value without the 32nd bit set (1<<31), so 0x00000001 to 0x7ffffffff, will be interpreted as a relative timelock if `nVersion ≥ 2` (which is the default starting in Bitcoin Core 0.14.0). You should be careful to ensure that relative timelocks don't conflict with the other two uses of `nSequence`, for signalling `nTimeLock` and RBF. `nTimeLock` usually sets a value of 0xffffffff-1, where a relative timelock is disallowed; and RBF usually sets a value of "1", where a relative timelock is irrelevent, because it defines a timelock of 1 block.

### Create a CSV Relative Block Time
The format for using `nSequence` to represent relative time locks is defined in [BIP 68](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0068.mediawiki) and is slightly more complex than just inputting a number, like you did for `nTimeLock`. Instead, the BIP specifications breaks up the four byte number into three parts:

Instead, the BIP specifications breaks up the four byte number into three parts:
* The first two bytes are used to specify a relative locktime.
* The 23rd bit is used to positively signal if the lock refers to a time rather than a blockheight.
