Question
A decreasing sequence of numbers is a sequence of integers
where every integer in the sequence is smaller than all other
previous integers in that sequence.
For example,
•35, 16, 7, 2, 0, -3, -9 is a decreasing sequence of numbers.
The length of this sequence is 7 (total numbers in the
sequence) and the difference of this sequence is 35 - (-9)
-44.
• 5 is a decreasing sequence of numbers with length 1 and
difference 5-5 = 0
•99,-99 is a decreasing sequence of numbers with length 2
and difference 99-(-99) = 198
•17, 23, 11, 8, -5, -3 is not a decreasing sequence of
%3D
numbers.
Write a program that contains a main() function. The main
function repeatedly asks the user to enter an integer if the
previously entered integers form a decreasing sequence of
numbers. This process stops as soon as the latest user input
breaks the decreasing sequence. Then your function should
print the length and difference of the decreasing sequence.
Finally, call the main() function such that the call will be
executed if and only if the program is run as a stand alone
program.
Note: your function must not use any data structures like list.
