Question
I need help creating a static method in Python that does the following.
 
The following sequence is formed using words and numbers:
(1) The first number is 1
(2) In the first number, there was one 1 so the second number in the sequence is
11
(3) In the second number, there were two 1s so the third number in the sequence
is 21
(4) In the previous number, there was one 2 and there was one q, so the fourth
number is 1211
(5) In the previous number, there was one 1, one 2, and two 1s, so the fifth
number is 111221...
This sequence can continue infinitely.
Write a function that, given a staring number m and an integer n, returns the next
n numbers in order.
So for example, given a starting number of 1 and an integer 4, the sequence
returned should be [11, 21, 1211, 111221]
Or, given a starting number of 11 and an integer 3, the sequence returned should
be [21, 1211, 111221].
Write a function in Python (static method if you will) that will generate a list as described as above,
given a starting number (for instance, 1) and an integer which is the length of the list
generated.
