3n+1问题 用c语言实现

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 = 1for every integer n.Still, the conjectureholds for all integers up to at least 1, 000, 000.

For an input n, the cycle-length of n isthe number of numbers generated up to andincluding 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 cyclelength over all numbers between i and j, including both endpoints.

Input

The input will consist of a series of pairs of integers i
