## iterators ### Instructions The Collatz Conjecture or 3x+1 problem can be summarized as follows: Take any positive integer `n`. - If `n` is even, you will divide `n` by 2 to get `n / 2`. - If `n` is odd, you will multiply `n` by 3 and add 1 to get `3n + 1`. Repeat the process indefinitely. The conjecture states that no matter which number you start with, you will always reach 1 eventually. But sometimes the number grow significantly before it reaches 1. This can lead to an integer overflow and makes the algorithm unsolvable within the range of a number in u64. You will not have to worry about that in this exercise. Given a number `n`, return the number of steps required to reach 1. Examples: Starting with n = 16, the steps would be as follows: 0- 16 1- 8 2- 4 3- 2 4- 1 Resulting in 4 steps. So for input n = 16, the return value would be 4. ### Notions - [Trait Iterator](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.Iterator.html) - [Collatz Conjecture](https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjectura_de_Collatz) ### Expected functions ```rust struct Collatz { v: u64, } impl Iterator for Collatz {} pub fn collatz(n: u64) -> Option {} ``` ### Usage Here is a program to test your function. ```rust use iterators::*; fn main() { println!("{:?}", collatz(4)); println!("{:?}", collatz(5)); println!("{:?}", collatz(6)); println!("{:?}", collatz(7)); println!("{:?}", collatz(12)); } ``` And its output: ```console $ cargo run Some(2) Some(5) Some(8) Some(16) Some(9) $ ```
