This is related to the Collatz Conjecture. What's weird is not
mentioning it.

Thank you. Wikipedia article about Collatz Conjecture is a good reading.

 
 

                 len = strlen(result);
                 sprintf(result + len, "%d ", n); 

 
And what's odd here is collating the results in a string (especially
when the possible number of steps is unknown). Why not just print it
straight to the console?
 
 

OP got it further down the thread.
