prev  |  next  |  chance

A Collatz sequence is a sequence of integers starting with n where the next element is n/2 if n is even and 3*n + 1 if n is odd. An unproven conjecture is that the sequence always gets to 1 at some point, regardless of what number it starts with. Write the function collatz(n) that returns the sequence starting with n and ending with 1.


collatz(1) → [1]
collatz(2) → [2, 1]
collatz(3) → [3, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1]
