Collatz Conjecture can be stated as: using the reduced Collatz function C(n) = (3n+1)/2^x where 2^x is the largest power of 2 that divides 3n+1, any odd integer n will eventually reach 1 in j iterations such that C^j(n) = 1.
start with any positive integer n. Then each term is obtained from the previous term as follows: if the previous term is even, the next term is one half of the previous term. If the previous term is odd, the next term is 3 times the previous term plus 1. The conjecture is that no matter what value of n, the sequence will always reach 1.
