The Hailstone sequence of numbers can be generated from a starting positive integer, n by:
* If n is 1 then the sequence ends.
* If n is even then the next n of the sequence <code>= n/2</code>
* If n is odd then the next n of the sequence <code>= (3 * n) + 1</code>
 
The Hailstone sequence of numbers can be generated from a starting positive integer, &nbsp; n &nbsp; by:
The (unproven), [[wp:Collatz conjecture|Collatz conjecture]] is that the hailstone sequence for any starting number always terminates.
* &nbsp; If &nbsp; n &nbsp; is &nbsp; &nbsp; '''1''' &nbsp; &nbsp; then the sequence ends.
* &nbsp; If &nbsp; n &nbsp; is &nbsp; '''even''' then the next &nbsp; n &nbsp; of the sequence &nbsp; <big><code> = n/2 </code></big>
* &nbsp; If &nbsp; n &nbsp; is &nbsp; '''odd''' &nbsp; then the next &nbsp; n &nbsp; of the sequence &nbsp; <big><code> = (3 * n) + 1 </code></big>
 
 
'''Task Description:'''
The (unproven) [[wp:Collatz conjecture|Collatz conjecture]] is that the hailstone sequence for any starting number always terminates.
 
 
This sequence was named by Lothar Collatz in 1937 &nbsp; (or possibly in 1939), &nbsp; and is also known as (the):
:::* &nbsp; hailstone sequence, &nbsp; hailstone numbers
:::* &nbsp; 3x + 2 mapping, &nbsp; 3n + 1 problem
:::* &nbsp; Collatz sequence
:::* &nbsp; Hasse's algorithm
:::* &nbsp; Kakutani's problem
:::* &nbsp; Syracuse algorithm, &nbsp; Syracuse problem
:::* &nbsp; Thwaites conjecture
:::* &nbsp; Ulam's problem
 
 
The hailstone sequence is also known as &nbsp; ''hailstone numbers'' &nbsp; (because the values are usually subject to multiple descents and ascents like hailstones in a cloud).
 
 
;Task:
# Create a routine to generate the hailstone sequence for a number.
# Use the routine to show that the hailstone sequence for the number 27 has 112 elements starting with <code>27, 82, 41, 124</code> and ending with <code>8, 4, 2, 1</code>
# Show the number less than 100,000 which has the longest hailstone sequence together with that sequence's length.<br> &nbsp; (But don't show the actual sequence!)

Output is in hexadecimal but is otherwise correct.
Because of the Game Boy Advance's limited screen size, only the first 4 and last 4 entries are printed to the screen. The emulator's memory dump can show the rest. In addition, the task was split into two separate programs.

Tiny BASIC is limited to signed integers from -32768 to 32767. This code combines two integers into one: number = 32766A + B, to emulate integers up to 1.07 billion. Dealing with integer truncation, carries, and avoiding overflows requires some finesse. Even so one number, namely 77671, causes an overflow because one of its steps exceeds 1.07 billion.

Firstly, this code takes the value from the stack, computes and prints the corresponding Hailstone sequence, and the length of the sequence.
The q procedure is for counting the length of the sequence.
The e and o procedure is for even and odd number respectively.
The x procedure is for overall control.

Then we could wrap the procedure x with a new procedure s, and call it with l which is loops the value of t from 1 to 100000, and cleaning up the stack after each time we finish up with a number.
Register L for the length of the longest sequence and T for the corresponding number.
Also, procedure q is slightly modified for storing L and T if needed, and all printouts in procedure e and o are muted.

Register L for the length of the longest sequence and T for the corresponding number.

Or, going back to basics, we can observe that the hailstone sequence is an 'anamorphism' – it builds up a list structure from a single integer value, which makes '''unfoldr''' the obvious first thing to reach for the first main task.<br>
In turn, deriving the longest sequence for starting values below 100000 essentially involves a 'catamorphism' – it takes a list of hailstone sequences (or at least a list of their seed values and their lengths), and strips that structure down to a single (N, length) pair. This makes '''foldr''' the obvious recursion scheme to start with for the second main task.
 
One approach to using '''unfoldr''' and then '''foldr''' might be:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="haskell">import Data.List (unfoldr)
 
 
-------------------- HAILSTONE SEQUENCE ------------------
 
hailStones :: Int -> [Int]
hailStones = (<> [1]) . unfoldr go

| otherwise = 1 + 3 * x
go x
| 2 > x = Nothing
| otherwise = Just (x, f x)
 
mostStones :: Int -> (Int, Int)
mostStones = foldr go (0, 0) . enumFromTo 1
where
go x (m, ml)
| l > ml = (x, l)
| otherwise = (m, ml)
where

Attempting to fold that recursive function over an array of 100,000 elements,
however, (to solve the second part of the problem) soon runs out of stack
space, at least on the system used here.
 
The stack problem can be quickly fixed, as often, by simply applying a memoized function,
which reuses previously calculated paths.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">(function () {
 
function memoizedHailstone() {
var dctMemo = {};
 
return function hailstone(n) {
var value = dctMemo[n];
 
if (typeof value === "undefined") {
dctMemo[n] = value = (n === 1) ?
[1] : ([n].concat(hailstone(n % 2 ? n * 3 + 1 : n / 2)));
}
return value;
}
}
 
// Derived a memoized version of the function,
// which can reuse previously calculated paths
var fnCollatz = memoizedHailstone();
 
// Iterative version of range
// [m..n]
function range(m, n) {
var a = Array(n - m + 1),
i = n + 1;
while (i--) a[i - 1] = i;
return a;
}
// Fold/reduce over an array to find the maximum length
function longestBelow(n) {
return range(1, n).reduce(
function (a, x, i) {
var lng = fnCollatz(x).length;
 
return lng > a.l ? {
n: i + 1,
l: lng
} : a
 
}, {
n: 0,

For better time (as well as space) we can continue to memoize while falling back to a function which returns the
sequence length alone, and is iteratively implemented. This also proves more scaleable,
and we can still use a fold/reduce pattern over a list to find the longest collatz sequences
for integers below one million, or ten million and beyond, without hitting the limits of system resources.

Here are threefour ways to generate the sequence.
 
=== Nested function call formulation ===
<syntaxhighlight lang="mathematica">HailstoneF[n_] := NestWhileList[If[OddQ[#], 3 # + 1, #/2] &, n, # > 1 &]</syntaxhighlight>
 
This is probably the most readable and shortest implementation.
 
=== Fixed-Point formulation ===
<langsyntaxhighlight Mathematicalang="mathematica">HailstoneFP[n_Integern_] := Most[@FixedPointList[WhichSwitch[# ==, 1, 1, EvenQ[#]_?OddQ , 3#/2 + 1, OddQ[#]_, (3*# + 1)/2] &, n]]</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
=== Recursive formulation using piece-wise function definitions ===
<langsyntaxhighlight Mathematicalang="mathematica">HailstoneR[1] := {1}
HailstoneR[n_Integern_?OddQ] := Prepend[HailstoneR[3 n + 1], n] /; OddQ[n] && n > 0
HailstoneR[n_Integern_] := Prepend[HailstoneR[n/2], n] /; EvenQ[n] && n > 0 </langsyntaxhighlight>
 
=== Procedural implementation ===
<langsyntaxhighlight Mathematicalang="mathematica">hailstoneHailstoneP[n_Integern_] := BlockModule[{sequencex = {n}, cs = n},
While[cs > 1, cx = {x, s = If[EvenQ[c], c/2OddQ@s, 3 cs + 1, s/2]}]; Flatten@x] </syntaxhighlight>
 
AppendTo[sequence, c]];
=== Validation ===

=== Nested function-call formulation ===
I use this version to do the validation:
<langsyntaxhighlight Mathematicalang="mathematica">Hailstone[n_] :=
NestWhileList[WhichIf[Mod[#, 2] == 0, #/2, True, ( 3*# + 1) ] &, n, # != 1 &];

To display the length, and first and last elements, of the hailstone sequence for 27, we could do this:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="c">#include <order/interpreter.h>
 
#define ORDER_PP_DEF_8hailstone ORDER_PP_FN( \
Line 4,117 ⟶ 7,471:
8(starts with:) 8seq_take(4, 8H) 8comma 8space
8(ends with:) 8seq_drop(8minus(8S, 4), 8H))
) )</langsyntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">h(27) - length:112, starts with:(27)(82)(41)(124), ends with:(8)(4)(2)(1)</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
Unfortunately, the C preprocessor not really being designed with large amounts of garbage collection in mind, trying to compute the hailstone sequences up to 100000 is almost guaranteed to run out of memory (and take a very, very long time). If we wanted to try, we could add this to the program, which in most languages would use relatively little memory:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="c">#define ORDER_PP_DEF_8h_longest ORDER_PP_FN( \
8fn(8M, 8P, \
8if(8is_0(8M), \
Line 4,134 ⟶ 7,488:
8let((8P, 8h_longest(8nat(1,0,0,0,0,0), 8pair(0, 0))),
8pair(8to_lit(8tuple_at_0(8P)), 8to_lit(8tuple_at_1(8P))))
)</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
...or even this "more elegant" version, which will run out of memory very quickly indeed (but in practice seems to work better for smaller ranges):
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="c">ORDER_PP(
8let((8P,
8seq_head(
Line 4,145 ⟶ 7,499:
8pair(8N, 8seq_size(8hailstone(8N)))),
8seq_iota(1, 8nat(1,0,0,0,0,0)))))),
8pair(8to_lit(8tuple_at_0(8P)), 8to_lit(8tuple_at_1(8P)))) )</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
Notice that large numbers (>100) must be entered as digit sequences with <code>8nat</code>. <code>8to_lit</code> converts a digit sequence back to a readable number.

===Mode-directed tabling===
If we just want to get the length of the longest sequence - and are not forced to use the same Hailstone function as for the H27 task - then this version using model-directed tabling is faster than longest_seq/1: 0.055s vs 0.127s. (Original idea by Neng-Fa Zhou.)

===Vectorization solution===
The previous solution is entirely satisfactory and may be more efficient than the following solution. However, problems like these are a great chance to show off the strength of R's vectorization. Also, this lets us show off how the <- syntax can do multiple variable assignments in one line. Observe how short the following code is:
<syntaxhighlight lang="rsplus">###Task 1:
collatz <- function(n)
{
lastIndex <- 1
output <- lastEntry <- n
while(lastEntry != 1)
{
#Each branch updates lastEntry, lastIndex, and appends a new element to the end of output.
#Note that the return value of lastIndex <- lastIndex + 1 is lastIndex + 1.
#You may be surprised that output can be appended to despite starting as just a single number.
#If so, recall that R's numerics are vectors, meaning that output<-n created a vector of length 1.
#It's ugly, but efficient.
if(lastEntry %% 2) lastEntry <- output[lastIndex <- lastIndex + 1] <- 3 * lastEntry + 1
else lastEntry <- output[lastIndex <- lastIndex + 1] <- lastEntry %/% 2
}
output
}
 
###Task 2:
#Notice how easy it is to access the required elements:
twentySeven <- collatz(27)
cat("The first four elements are:", twentySeven[1:4], "and the last four are:", twentySeven[length(twentySeven) - 3:0], "\n")
 
###Task 3:
#Notice how a several line long loop can be avoided with R's sapply or Vectorize:
seqLenghts <- sapply(seq_len(99999), function(x) length(collatz(x)))
longest <- which.max(seqLenghts)
cat("The longest sequence before the 100000th is found at n =", longest, "and it has length", seqLenghts[longest], "\n")
#Equivalently, line 1 could have been: seqLenghts <- sapply(Vectorize(collatz)(1:99999), length).
#Another good option would be seqLenghts <- lengths(Vectorize(collatz)(1:99999)).</syntaxhighlight>

Rather than write a function that calculates the length, just roll through all 100,000 sequences and save the largest (length,sequence start) pair. Creating all those Collatz lists isn't quick. This works by using a [mutable] list to hold state as the pump does the basic looping.
