Write a program to prompt the user for a positive integer: N. The program will repeatedly divide the input in half using a loop, discarding any fractional part, until it becomes 1. The program should print on separate lines:

• the sequence of 'halved' value, one per line

• the number of iterations required

• the value of log2 (N)

using python to write the program

Explanation:

#To use the log function, the module must be imported

import math

n=int (input ("Enter number to be halved"))

count=0

while (n>1):

count=count+1

n=n//2

print ("The number halved is now ", n, "The is the ", count, "iteration")

x = math, log (2, (n))

print ("The log of n is:", x)
