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

                 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?
