    <p>So on your collatz project you program should take ONE INPUT --
      which will be the maximum number (which will not exceed 5 billion)
      to use for your program.  For example, if I ran my program an put
      in 100 for the largest integer, I would calculate the collatz
      sequences between 1 and 100 and would get the following output...</p>
    <pre> Sorted based on sequence length
                   97                  118
                   73                  115
                   54                  112
                   27                  111
                   82                  110
                   41                  109
                   62                  107
                   31                  106
                   94                  105
                   47                  104
 Sorted based on integer size
