This is a sample BAM template (test.md.bam). A BAM template is any type of plain-text file with special code fragments. See README.md for details.

Also known as the 3n+1 conjecture Wikipedia. It is a sequence of numbers with nontrivial features.

The sequence is built as follows: take any integer n. If n is even, divide it by two; if n is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. Stop the sequence when n == 1.

You chose 7.

1. 7 is odd, so we multiply by three and add 1.
2. 22 is even, so we divide by two.
3. 11 is odd, so we multiply by three and add 1.
4. 34 is even, so we divide by two.
5. 17 is odd, so we multiply by three and add 1.
6. 52 is even, so we divide by two.
7. 26 is even, so we divide by two.
8. 13 is odd, so we multiply by three and add 1.
9. 40 is even, so we divide by two.
10. 20 is even, so we divide by two.
11. 10 is even, so we divide by two.
12. 5 is odd, so we multiply by three and add 1.
13. 16 is even, so we divide by two.
14. 8 is even, so we divide by two.
15. 4 is even, so we divide by two.
16. 2 is even, so we divide by two.

It took 16 iterations to get to 1.
