def collatz_sequence(n):
"""
Collatz conjecture: start with any positive integer n.Next term is obtained from the previous term as follows:
if the previous term is even, the next term is one half the previous term.
if the previous term is even, the next term is one half of the previous term.
If the previous term is odd, the next term is 3 times the previous term plus 1.
The conjecture states the sequence will always reach 1 regaardess of starting n.
The conjecture states the sequence will always reach 1 regaardless of starting value n.
Example:
>>> collatz_sequence(43)
[43, 130, 65, 196, 98, 49, 148, 74, 37, 112, 56, 28, 14, 7, 22, 11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1]

sequence = [n]
while n != 1:
if n % 2 == 0: # even
if n % 2 == 0: # even number condition
n //= 2
else:
n = 3 * n + 1
