A program to test the collatz conjecture¹ in ocatve. This script computes various data related to the collatz conjecture, presenting them is suitable graphs

To use the script you have to set some variables in the main file test_seq.m. Primarily the num variable. (Don't forget the semi-colen at the end of a line :)).

num = 500;

There are three other variables that control the behaviour of the program. The first one is single_run_flag:

single_run_flag = 0;

When you set this value to 0, the program runs for every collatz series between 1 to num. We can contol the plot with plot_collatz_data.

plot_collatz_data = 0;

When this is set to zero, only the stop time data is plotted. Otherwise when this is set to 1, every series between 1 and num is plotted in a seperate plot window.

When we set single_run_flag = 1 only one iteration of the collatz series is performed, and the series data is plotted.

single_run_flag = 1, for num = 27; :

single_run_flag = 0 (with plot_collatz_data = 0), for num = 5000; :
