README

Collatz

Print Collatz series for given integers.

Installation

Unix users (Linux, BSDs and MacOSX)

Unix users may download and install latest collatz release with command:

sh -c "$(curl https://sweetohm.net/dist/collatz/install)"

If curl is not installed on you system, you might run:

sh -c "$(wget -O - https://sweetohm.net/dist/collatz/install)"

Note: Some directories are protected, even as root, on MacOSX (since El Capitan release), thus you can't install collatz in /usr/bin for instance.

Binary package

Otherwise, you can download latest binary archive at https://github.com/c4s4/collatz/releases. Unzip the archive, put the binary of your platform somewhere in your PATH and rename it collatz.

Usage

To print Collatz series, type:

$ collatz 7
7 22 11 34 17 52 26 13 40 20 10 5 16 8 4 2 1 (16) [52]

This prints Collatz series, number of steps (here 16) and maximum value (here 52).

Enjoy:
