+ # Collatz conjecture

3
+ The Collatz conjecture is a conjecture in mathematics that concerns a sequence defined as follows:
4
+ * Start with any positive integer n.
5
+ * Then each term is obtained from the previous term as follows:
6
+ * if the previous term is even, the next term is one half the previous term.
7
+ * If the previous term is odd, the next term is 3 times the previous term plus 1.
8
+
9
+ The conjecture is that no matter what value of n, the sequence will always reach 1.
