Need Helping coming up with (Need Ideas) Thank you in Advance!

1. Come up with a clear and interesting conjecture concerning primes or the \"Hailstone\" Sequence.

So that i can later try and code:

2. Write a program that will allow the user (you!) to gather data regarding the conjecture posed in (1) Using Visual Basics.

Solution

Hailstone sequence

    If n is even, divide it by 2 to give n\' = n/2
    If n is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1 to give n\' = 3n + 1

Program in visual basic

   Dim a, count As Integer
            a = TextBox1.Text
            count = 0
            ListBox1.Items.Clear()
            ListBox1.Items.Add(a)
            Do While a <> 1
                If a Mod 2 = 0 Then
                    a = a / 2
                Else
                    a = 3 * a + 1
                End If
                count = count + 1
                ListBox1.Items.Add(a)
            Loop
            TextBox2.Text = count
  
        End Sub
