* Mensanator:
That said, and a bit off-tangent to your comment's main thrust, the time spent
on coding that repeated-division-by-2 optimization would, I think, be better
spent googling "Collatz Conjecture" -- avoiding writing /any/ code. ;-)
Ha! I know more about Collatz than you can ever find by Googling!
And how did I achieve that? By writing such code. Be a good boy and
maybe I'll show you how to do Ulam's Spiral with Turtle Graphics.
It's probably good for you that you know so much about Collatz.
I fail to see the relevance to anything.
Cheers & hth.,
