	Summary	Performs number of iterations in Collatz's problem, i.e., the 3x+1 conjecture.

	Subjects	Number Theory
	Description	The 3n+1 sequence attributed to Lothar Collatz, has been given various names, including Ulam's conjecture, Syracuse problem, Kakutani's problem and Hasse's algorithm. The conjecture is based on the iteration defined by: n[i+1] = if n[i] is even then n[i]/2 else 3*n[i]+1.
