The Collatz conjecture is an unsolved mathematical conjecture (i.e. a mathematical statement without proof). The conjecture is part of a problem that states as follows: "Consider the following operation on an arbitrary positive integer: If the number is even, divide it by two. If the number is odd, triple it and add one." The conjecture is that this process will eventually reach the number 1, regardless of which positive integer is initially chosen. This project is not trying to solve the conjecture. It simply uses the algorithm above and tells you how many steps it would take to reach 1. Waiting times may be long for large numbers
