    Is anyone else interested in the 3n+1 problem?

    My first program after "hello world" is usually Colatz. It takes a positive integer as an input and runs the colatz (3n+1) process on it until it reaches 1. it watches to see what the maximum number reached is, when n drops below its initial value, the
    number of steps, count of even and odd steps, and anything else I can think of to help find some sort of pattern.

    "Approved"? In an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup? Heh. ;)

    Just post the source code as plain text.
