an alien lays X eggs each day (there are genders in this species) and the eggs hatch after Y days. if X is 3 and Y is 5, how many aliens will there be in 30 days after a single alien invades?
hint: make an array/list and use each slot to represent a day. Put a 1 in the first position and then calculate how many eggs are laid and when they will hatch.

Got curious about what this was but realized it was Coventry..

Anyway, wouldn't it be better if this were moved to the CS help forum?
