Find the Collatz sequence for 25.... | Filo

SOLVED: The Syracuse (also called "Collatz" or "Hailstone") sequence is generated by starting with a natural number and repeatedly applying the following function until reaching 1: syr(x)={ x / 2 if x is even 3 x+1 if x is odd . For example, the Syracuse sequence starting with 5 is: 5,16,8,4,2,1 . It is an open question in mathematics whether this sequence will always go to for every possible starting value. Write a program that gets a starting value from
