:: Hi Mcandre, I was 'framing' with an eye to maybe rewriting the task goals in a manner that was easier for more people to understand. I'm glad that we are on the same wavelength so far on the goals, but as a task description, the above has holes:
::# It needs to specify a task for the program that is importing the library to do. Maybe: ''"Use the libraries hailstone function, in the standard manner, (or document how this use deviates from standard use of a library); to find the hailstone length returned most often for 1 <= n < 100,000"''
::# It needs a solution in another language
::# It would be good, but probably not essential to get a solution in another non-scripting language too.
:: '''Here is more to flesh out an initial Python solution:'''
::<lang python>from collections import Counter
from executable_hailstone_library import hailstone
def hailstone_length_frequency(hrange):
return Counter(len(hailstone(n)) for n in hrange).most_common()
if __name__ == '__main__':
upto = 100000
hlen, freq = hailstone_length_frequency(range(1, upto))[0]
print("The length of hailstone sequence that is most common for\n"
"hailstone(n) where 1<=n<%i, is %i. It occurs %i times."
% (upto, hlen, freq))</lang>
::'''Sample output''':
::<code>The length of hailstone sequence that is most common for</code>
::<code>hailstone(n) where 1<=n<100000, is 72. It occurs 1467 times</code>
:: '''So, who's for the change!''' --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 08:15, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
