Task

Write a python function named generate$\_$sequence that has $2$ parameters, startValue and maxValue.

This function should:

Validate the provided parameter values as instructed below

Generate a sequence $($as a list of numbers$)$ using the algorithm specified below

Return $($not print$)$ the generated sequence as a list of numbers

You should not define any additional functions in your work. i$.$e$.$ your work should contain only the required function.

Validation Rules

You must validate the parameter values as specified below:

startValue should contain an integer value

maxValue should contain a float value

If any of the provided parameters are invalid, the function should return an empty list.

When validating, you should assume that a valid parameter can have a datatype that is incorrect while having a correct value $($i$.$e$.$ a float value provided in a string datatype $"23\mathrm{.}15"$ should be accepted as a valid value$).$

Your program should not crash nor emit unhandled errors. Any usage of except should be followed by a specific error being trapped $($i$.$e$.$ ValueError$).$

Algorithm Rules

The first value in the sequence is the start value, rounded to $0$ decimal places.

The next value in the sequence calculated following the four steps below:

Increment the last value added to the sequence by $3$

Then, take the value from $($a$)$ and raise it to the power of $3$

Then, take the value in $($b$),$ subtract $2\mathrm{.}488045$

Then, round the value from $($c$)$ to $0$ decimal places

Repeat the steps above until the final value added to the sequence is greater than the value provided in maxValue.

Your code should meet the following coding standards:

Indentation $-4$ space $=1$ tab

Variables must be in lowerCamelCase style and be meaningfully named

Your code file should also contain file header and function header documentation
