Description

Welcome to this ?demo? press the up arrow icon to enter your number :) (not a tutorial) !! Press the up arrow icon to enter your own !! What are Collatz conjectures? The Collatz conjecture is a sequence starting from a base number the amount of steps is the time it take to reach 1 (kind of like how long it takes to "escape" the Mandelbrot) Anyway the pattern applied to the number is: If even: number=number/2 If odd: number=(number*3)+1 It looks so simple yet it is so complex. Some numbers to try: (you can't do 0) - 670617279 - 63728127 - 15 (message me with more) Why steps/8.33? because I am using Y as a variable to get the actual number of steps than multiply it by 8.333 than round it :) What does the graph mean? the graph plots the position of every iteration in the pattern before it hits 1 Wanna know the biggest Collatz conjecture? found by me that beat all other records? The previous is 9,780,657,630 with 1132 steps Ok so my number is 2^1133 . thank you *bow* thank you *bow* lol. Thank you!
