The Hailstone sequence of numbers can be generated from a starting positive integer, `n` by:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>If <code>n</code> is <code>1</code> then the sequence ends</li>
|
||||
<li>If <code>n</code> is <code>even</code> then the next <code>n</code> of the sequence <code>= n/2</code></li>
|
||||
<li>If <code>n</code> is <code>odd</code> then the next <code>n</code> of the sequence <code>= (3 * n) + 1</code></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
- If `n` is `1` then the sequence ends
|
||||
- If `n` is `even` then the next `n` of the sequence `= n/2`
|
||||
- If `n` is `odd` then the next `n` of the sequence `= (3 * n) + 1`
|
||||
|
||||
The (unproven) [Collatz conjecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz conjecture "wp: Collatz conjecture") is that the hailstone sequence for any starting number always terminates.
|

The (unproven) Collatz conjecture is that the hailstone sequence for any starting number always terminates.
|
||||
|
||||
The hailstone sequence is also known as hailstone numbers (because the values are usually subject to multiple descents and ascents like hailstones in a cloud), or as the Collatz sequence.

# --instructions--

|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Create a routine to generate the hailstone sequence for a number</li>
|
||||
<li>Use the routine to show that the hailstone sequence for the number 27 has 112 elements starting with <code>27, 82, 41, 124</code> and ending with <code>8, 4, 2, 1</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Show the number less than 100,000 which has the longest hailstone sequence together with that sequence's length. (But don't show the actual sequence!)</li>

||||

1. Create a routine to generate the hailstone sequence for a number
|
||||
2. Your function should return an array with the number less than `limit` which has the longest hailstone sequence and that sequence's length. (But don't show the actual sequence!)
