Motivation

Gain experience with converting from head recursion to tail recursion with a twist. Taking the standard simple approach would leave with you with a result opposite of the desired order.

A Sting In the Tail

Everything does not always goes perfectly smoothly on the jouney to the idyllic land of tail recursion. Some operations are commutative (for example: addition, multiplication, and percent) and they can be performed in either order. This is not the case for list construction with ::.

You will likely be left to decide between taking:
