Collatz Calculator

A Collatz sequence is generated by repeatedly applying the following rules to an integer and then to each resulting integer in turn:

• If even: divide by 2.
• If odd: multiply by 3, then add 1.

The Collatz conjecture states that, for any initial positive integer, you will eventually reach the number 1.

Write a function that, for an initial positive integer n, returns an array containing 2 values:

1. The number of times the Collatz rule has to be applied until you reach 1.
2. The maximum number reached in the process.

Examples

collatz(17) ➞ [12, 52]
// Because 17 – 52 – 26 – 13 – 40 – 20 – 10 – 5 – 16 – 8 – 4 – 2 – 1
// takes 12 steps and 52 is the highest number reached.

collatz(6) ➞ [8, 16]

collatz(21) ➞ [7, 64]
