#collatzconjecture

collatz conjecture⁣ ⁣ Applies the Collatz algorithm.⁣ ⁣ If n is even, return n/2. Otherwise, return 3n+1.⁣ ⁣ The collatz conjecture is that no matter what value of n, the sequence will always reach 1.⁣ ⁣ ⚛️ Example:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ collatz(8); // 4⁣ ⁣ ⚛️ References:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mFpVDpKX70⁣ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture⁣ ⁣ ➖➖➖⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ 🕉 Follow @the.unpaid.dev on #instagram for new JS, CSS, HTML, DevOps 🔥🔥⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ➖➖➖ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ♋ Comment below 📲📲⁣⁣ #math #mathematics #algorithm #collatzconjecture (at Nagpur) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Y1Fb_H4gO/?igshid=1vtssrmurc96w

If the conjecture is false, it can only be because there is some starting number which gives rise to a sequence which does not contain 1. Such a sequence might enter a repeating cycle that excludes 1, or increase without bound. No such sequence has been found.
