Instruction:
A mathematician named Ulam proposed generating a sequence of numbers from any positive integer N greater than 1 using the following procedure:
If N is 1, stop.
If N is even, replace it with N/2.
If N is odd, replace it with 3 * N + 1.
Continue with this process until N reaches 1.
Here are some examples of the Ulam sequence for the first few integers.
