Hi, I have a problem in python which is kind of tricky.

if i give a sequence of numbers, i should get another sequence of numbers
such that the the elements exceeds previous element in the list. For eg

seq_num([3,2,5,7])=[3,5,7] since 5 is >3, and 7>5
seq_num([1,2,3,4])=[1,2,3,4]  since 2 is >1, and 3>2 and so on
seq_num([5,5,5])=[5]
seq_num([9,8,7])=[9]

and so on without using any inbuilt functions.

I tried the following code but it is not incrementing:

def seq_num(numlist):

     n=len(numlist)

     for i in range(0,n - 1):

         if numlist[i]>numlist[i+1]:
             i+=1
             return numlist[i]


You've failed to meet the stated requirement as len and range are built-in functions so whether or not the increment occurs is irrelevant.
