Tough Puzzle: The Parrot Sequence - crack it!

[prakash.athani]

Here is the program for Parrot sequence. I tried it in Java.

//An attempt in Java to produce parrot sequence
//Works for fair inputs.
//For larger serieses the int in the program should be replaced by long
 
import java.io.*;
 
class ParrotSequence{
 
           //This is main. Here we give initial number to parrot Paco.Also our choice if we want to continue.
 
           public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
 
                      int n,choice,result; 
                      DataInputStream din=new DataInputStream(System.in);
                      System.out.println("Give initial number to parrot Paco :");
                      n=Integer.parseInt(din.readLine());
 
                      do {
                                result=count(n); 
                                System.out.println("Paco's reply :"+result);
                                System.out.println("Do you want to give Paco's count back to Paco?(1/0) :");
                                choice=Integer.parseInt(din.readLine());
                                if(choice==1) {

                       }while(choice==1);
 
            }//End of main()
 
 
 
            // I am sure Paco won't count in the following way. But following count produces Paco's count

Here is the one I tried. Its written on Python.

It was basically made as a demo for future Crazyengineers software distributions. Contains Installation with CE logo, desktop Icon, Start menu item etc.

Download it from: cecode - Google Code
Name of Program is: CE_ParrotProgie.exe

wow, C and Java. have to read it though
