Answers to Questions

How to calculate the Collatz conjecture?

The conjecture use the following algorithm: If n is even, divide it by 2, else multiply by 3 and add 1. Start over until you get 1.

Example: n=10, 10 is even, divide it by 2 and get 5,
5 is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1 to get 16,
The you'll get 8, 4, 2 and 1.

Is there any number that does not obey to Collatz Conjecture rules?

No, nobody has found a number for which it does not work and nobody has found any mathematical proof that the conjecture is always true.

How to code Collatz conjecture?

// Javascript
function step(n) {
if (n%2 == 0) return n/2;
return 3*n+1;
}
function collatz(n) {
var nb = 1;
while (n != 1) {
n = step(n);
nb++;
}
return nb;
}.

What are the other names of this conjecture?

The Collatz conjecture is also known as

- 3n + 1 conjecture

- Ulam conjecture

- Kakutani's problem

- Thwaites conjecture

- Hasse's algorithm

- Syracuse problem
