Make a C program that prompts the user to input a positive integer value, and compute the following sequence: If the number is even, halve it; if it's odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. Repeat this process until the value is 1, printing out each value. Finally print out how many of these operations you performed. Typical output might be: Initial value is 9 Next value is 28 Next value is 14 Next value is 7 Next value is 22 Next value is 11 Next value is 34 Next value is 17 Next value is 52 Next value is 26 Next value is 13 Next value is 40 Next value is 20 Next value is 10 Next value is 5 Next value is 16 Next value is 8 Next value is 4 Next value is 2 Final value 1, number of steps 19
Operations
In mathematics and computer science, an operation is an event that is carried out to satisfy a given task. Basic operations of a computer system are input, processing, output, storage, and control.
Basic Operators
An operator is a symbol that indicates an operation to be performed. We are familiar with operators in mathematics; operators used in computer programming are—in many ways—similar to mathematical operators.
Division Operator
We all learnt about division—and the division operator—in school. You probably know of both these symbols as representing division:
Modulus Operator
Modulus can be represented either as (mod or modulo) in computing operation. Modulus comes under arithmetic operations. Any number or variable which produces absolute value is modulus functionality. Magnitude of any function is totally changed by modulo operator as it changes even negative value to positive.
Operators
In the realm of programming, operators refer to the symbols that perform some function. They are tasked with instructing the compiler on the type of action that needs to be performed on the values passed as operands. Operators can be used in mathematical formulas and equations. In programming languages like Python, C, and Java, a variety of operators are defined.
