If the first number in a sequence is a positive integer, x

Let a_o= x,

a_n is defined as follows

if an is even, then a_n+1 = a_n/2

if an is odd, then a_n+1 =3 *a_n+ 1

Then there exists an integer k, such that a_k =1

For example, if: 75, then k = 14 and the numbers in the sequence are: 75, 226, 113, 340, 170, 85, 256, 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1. The largest number in the sequence is 340 and it is a position 4 in the sequence (assuming 75 is at position 1)

Design and implement a complete C++ program that will

• read a series of integers (greater than 0) from a file and for each integer display (to the screen)

− the integer

− the number of steps it takes to reach 1

− the largest value in the sequence and its position
