Collatz conjecture

Report a typo

You have a natural number n. Generate a sequence of integers, described in the Collatz conjecture (Wikipedia):

  • if n is an even number, divide it in half;
  • if it is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1 ;

Repeat this operation until you get 1 as a result.

For example, if n is 17, then the sequence would look like this:

17 52 26 13 40 20 10 5 16 8 4 2 1

This sequence should stop at 1 for any primary natural number n.

Output format:
A sequence of integers in a single line, separated by spaces.

Sample Input 1: 

17

Sample Output 1: 

17 52 26 13 40 20 10 5 16 8 4 2 1

Sample Input 2: 

1

Sample Output 2: 

1
