====== Ulam Sequence ======
Write and save a program //Ulam.java//.
A mathematician named Ulam proposed generating a sequence of numbers from any positive integer n (n > 0) as follows:
• If n is 1, stop.
• If n is even, the next number is n/2.
• If n is odd, the next number is 3*n + 1.
• Continue with this process until reaching 1.
Here are some sequences for the starting integers 2-7:
2 -> 1
3 -> 10 -> 5 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
4 -> 2 -> 1
5 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
6 -> 3 ->
7 -> 22 -> 11 -> 34 -> 17 -> 52 -> 26 -> 13
-> 40 -> 20 -> 10 -> 5 ->
Write //Ulam.java// so that it inputs a number from the user and prints the Ulam sequence for it, using a //while// loop. Here are some example user dialogs:
Enter a positive integer to show its Ulam sequence:
2
The Ulam sequence is:
2 -> 1
Enter a positive integer to show its Ulam sequence:
3
The Ulam sequence is:
3 -> 10 -> 5 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
Here is an algorithm for this program:
Read n
Compute and print the Ulam sequence for n:
While n is greater than 1
Print 'n ->'
If n is even
n = n/2
Else // n is odd
n = n*3 + 1
End While
Print n // Final value of n is 1
