ACM练习3*n+1问题

题目描述

Consider the following algorithm to generate a sequence of numbers. Start with an integer n. If n is even, divide by 2. If n is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. Repeat this process with the new value of n, terminating when n = 1. For example, the following sequence of numbers will be generated for n = 22: 22 11 34 17 52 26 13 40 20 10 5 16 8 4 2 1 It is conjectured (but not yet proven) that this algorithm will terminate at n = 1 for every integer n. Still, the conjecture holds for all integers up to at least 1, 000, 000. For an input n, the cycle-length of n is the number of numbers generated up to and including the 1. In the example above, the cycle length of 22 is 16. Given any two numbers i and j, you are to determine the maximum cycle length over all numbers between i and j, including both endpoints.

输入

The input will consist of a series of pairs of integers i and j, one pair of integers per line. All integers will be less than 1,000,000 and greater than 0.

输出

For each pair of input integers i and j, output i, j in the same order in which they appeared in the input and then the maximum cycle length for integers between and including i and j. These three numbers should be separated by one space, with all three numbers on one line and with one line of output for each line of input.

这是题目，大概意思是对于一个数，如果这个数的是偶数，就除以2，如果是奇数就乘以3然后加上1，直到最终结果为1为止，这个规律对于任何数都成立，记录从开始到1的步骤，要求输入一个数，i和j，求出这两个数之间步骤最少的一个。没有告诉一共输入多少组。

我应该注意的是：不是把所有的输入都输入完成，然后做个总的输出，而是每个输入对应一组输出。
