Use R programming

Write a program that given a positive integer $n,$ finds the Collatz hailstone sequence for that number, and writes a file giving a report on the sequence. The name of the file $($for given $n)$ should be collatz$-$n$.$txt$.$ So if $n=17,$ the file should be named collatz$-17.$txt$.$ The report should include $n,$ the length of the sequence $($before it terminates with a $1),$ and the sequence itself. For example, the report for $n=17$ should contain:

number: $17$

length of hailstone sequence: $13$

sequence:

$17,52,26,13,40,20,10,5,16,8,4,2,1$

Try $n=27.($The sequence is rather long.$)$

Hints: The function converts numerical values to character strings. For example, format $(17)$ is $"17".$ Use the function to create the needed file name.
