Enter a positive integer and this program will tell you how many steps is took to get that number back down to one. Test as many numbers as you would like and press the flag to do another number. I am very proud of this program so please enjoy and be nice. Down below is a description of what the Collatz Conjecture is.
Collatz Conjecture is a conjecture in math that is still being worked on to find if it can be proved. Lothar Collatz expressed the idea in 1937. This conjecture states that if you repeat these very simple steps, every positive integer will reach one. If the number is odd, you multiply it by 3 and then add one. If the number is even, you divide it by two. You continue to repeat these two steps until the number reaches the number 1. I was first introduced to Collatz Conjecture when I was in third grade and my mom saw something about it on Facebook. She thought I would like it because I love math and I am a very big nerd. I never knew people who really enjoyed it as much as I did but was happy to find the large communities of people who do on Scratch.
