In math, the Collatz conjecture states that starting from any positive integer, you will eventually reach the number 1 by repeatedly applying the following two rules:
-
-
if the number is even, divide it by 2 to get the next number in the sequence
-
-
-
if the number is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1 to get the next number in the sequence
-
Repeatedly applying the rules generates a sequence of numbers. The Collatz step count is the number of applications of the rules required before the sequence reaches 1. For example, there are 8 Collatz steps in the Collatz sequence:
n = 6 -> n = 3 -> n = 10 -> n = 5 -> n = 16 -> n = 8 -> n = 4 -> n = 2 -> n = 1
Complete this function to count the Collatz steps for a particular number N.

def count collatz steps(n):
-
(int) -> int Precondition: n >= 1
Return the number of steps it takes to reach 1 by applying the two rules of the Collatz conjecture beginning from the positive integer n.
