[CSC 330] Turning Attention to Collatz

[Andrew J. Pounds]

For those of you turning your attention to collatz, I really encourage 
you to take a look at the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences.

https://oeis.org/A006577

and then run your program on the interval 1-72 to see if you are 
producing the correct output.   Remember that if two integers have the 
same collatz sequence length, you keep the smaller integer in your 
list.   When I run my code using those limits I produce the following...

Sorted based on sequence length
54 112
27 111
41 109
62 107
31 106
47 104
71 102
39 34
57 32
43 29
Sorted based on integer size
71 102
62 107
57 32
54 112
47 104
43 29
41 109
39 34
31 106
27 111

I could potentially run you programs with a really big ranges or really 
big numbers (largest being 2100000000).
