My issue: I've written comments in the code as indicated with "????" of instructions in the problem that I don't know how to code in order to execute. My code: import java.util.Scanner; public class Hailstone { /* Type your code here. */public int hailstone(int num) { int i=1; while(num != 1) { //as the instruction says in the 3rd bullet point "Continue until num is 1" if(num % 2 == 0){ //divisible by an even number num = num/2; //1st bullet point expression assignment } else { //if odd number, then this num = num*3+1; //2nd bullet point expression assignment } i++; //if the number is not 1, it continues //???? I want to add an if statement that stops at 10 digits as specify in the instructions, but don't know how to } System.out.print(num + "\t"); /*???? I'm assuming it would print out the 10 digits, if not I do not how to do so or would it create an infinite loop? }
