 signature: cheer : int -> int
 purpose: expects the number of desired HIPs,
    and has the side effect of printing that
    many HIPs to the screen, each on its own
    line, followed by HOORAY! on its own line,
    and it returns the number of HIPs
    printed (so, if called with a negative int,
    it cheerfully prints HOORAY! and returns a 0)

 examples: cheer(3) == 3
     and has the side effect of printing to the screen:
 HIP
 HIP
 HIP
 HOORAY!
 
     cheer(0) == 0
     and has the side effect of printing to the screen:
 HOORAY!
 
     cheer(-1) == 0
     and has the side effect of printing to the screen:
 HOORAY!
