API

next(num)

Returns the number after num in the sequence or null if terminated.

import collatz from 'collatz-fun'

collatz.next(3) // 10
collatz.next(1) // null

sequence(num[, max = 100])

Returns the sequence starting with num up to max iterations.

import collatz from 'collatz-fun'

collatz.sequence(7)
// [7, 22, 11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, null]

collatz.sequence(7, 5)
// [7, 22, 11, 34, 17 ]

info(num[, max = 100])

Returns summary info about the sequence starting with num.

import collatz from 'collatz-fun'

collatz.info(27, 150)

// returns
{
  finished: true, // sequence terminated
  steps: 111, // count of steps
  max: 9232,  // max
  odds: 42,  // count of odds
  evens: 71,  // count of evens
  sequence: [27, 82, ... 2, 1, null],  // sequence up to max steps
