Question #$1$: hailstone $($num$)$

Returns the hailstone sequence starting at the given number until termination when num is $1.$ The

hailstone sequence is generated as follows:

If num is even, then the next number in the sequence is num $\frac{?}{2}.$

If num is odd, then the next number in the sequence is $3**$ num $+1.$

Continue this process until num $=1$

$**$ The use of type conversion such as int$(),$ and list comprehension syntax are not allowed.

$**$ Implement this function without redundancy $($do not repeat the same operations in conditionals$)$

Preconditions and Postconditions

num: int $$ An positive integer

Returns: list $$ Hailstone sequence starting at num and ending at $1.$

Examples:

$>>$ hailstone$(5)$

$[5,16,8,4,2,1]$

$>>$ hailstone$(6)$

$[6,3,10,5,16,8,4,2,1]$

$90\%$ of the score comes from functionality $($passes all post$-$due date test cases$)$: You will loose points for every case your implementation fails $($no partial credit$),$ and you will lose all given points if your code does not follow the directions of the assignment, for example, usage of break or continue statements or any other constructs specified in the instructions$)$

$10\%$ of the course comes from proper use of course concepts to solve $($or attempt$)$ to solve the problem

Homework assignments are graded on correctness of post$-$due date testing cases $(60\%),$ and code clarity and design that shows the understanding of the problem $(40\%).$ Code clarity and showing understanding of class concepts involves, at minimum:

Writing your own code to attempt each function

Using descriptive variable names

Documenting your code

Passing the doctests provided in the starter code

Attempt that follows directions of the assignment

Similar to labs, you will loose the functionality score if your implementation does not follow the directions given in the assignment
