This script was created with the intent of visualizing what the progression of numbers looks like under the Collatz Conjecture.

I took inspiration on the following video for this project: The Simplest Math Problem No One Can Solve - Collatz Conjecture

_{PS: This project is not a "solution for the unsolvable problem". It is simply a visualizer.}

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a file called .env and insert the following contents

PLT_GRAPH=1 #Creates MatplotLib window
OUT_CONSOLE=0 #Outputs result on console
OUT_JSON=0 #Outputs result on json

If config file is not created, the script will automatically create it for you.

python main.py <value:Integer>
python main.py 3

Number must be positive _{(Above 0)}

If number is even, it will be divided by 2

If number is odd, it will be multiplied by 3 and have a 1 added to it, which will make it even.

This will happen in a cycle until the formula reaches the following final numbers: 4,2,1
