Question
Transcribed Image Text:Question 2.1
Given a positive integer, N, the '3N+1' sequence starting from N is defined as follows:
If N is an even number, then divide N by two to get a new value for N
If N is an odd number, then multiply N by 3 and add 1 to get a new value for N.
Continue to generate numbers in this way until N becomes equal to 1
For example, starting from N = 3 the complete '3N+1' sequence would be:
3, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
Write code to ask the user to enter a positive integer (N) in the main() function. Write a function sequence()
that receives the integer value N and display the '3N+1' sequence starting from the integer value that was
received (entered by the user). The function must also count and return the numbers that the sequence
consists of. The returned value must be displayed from the main() function.
Example input and output:
Enter a value for n: 3
3, 10 , 5 , 16 ,
8
2, 1
Number of terms: 8
Another example input and output:
Enter
10
a value for n: 10
5 , 16 , 8 , 4 , 2 ,
1
Number of terms: 7
(10)
