The Collatz conjecture or 3x+1 The Collatz conjecture is one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics. The conjecture asks whether repeating two simple arithmetic operations will eventually transform every positive integer into 1. It concerns sequences of integers in which 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 these sequences always reach 1, no matter which positive integer is chosen to start the sequence.
PLEASE READ! #all#mathematics#problem#graph Special thanks to @EpicDav24 who designed the graph. Without him, the project wouldn’t be as good as it is. The textengine I used is by @Griffpatch. If you found a number, that doesn’t end in one, please let me know in the comments. You’ve just solved one of the most famous problems in modern mathematics. Have fun trying out all kinds of numbers (no negative or decimal numbers). Please report Bugs in the comments.
