I'm relatively new to Python and I decided to try and code a relatively simple collatz conjecture where the user enters a number (integer). The code is just a simple function that calls itself. i is a list that should have every number that the function calculates appended to it. I'm new to executing Python scripts and I have tried using the IDLE shell to run the code. It asks me what number I want but when I enter a number nothing is printed? I'm sure I just need to edit a small bit of this code (or maybe it's all wrong yikes) but does anybody have any idea why my script returns nothing? Sorry about this and thanks. Here's the code: l = input("Enter a number: ") l = int(l) i = [] def collatz(n): if n==1: return i if n%2 == 0: n = n/2 i.append(n) return collatz(n) else: n = ((n*3) + 1) / 2 i.append(n) return collatz(n) print(i) collatz(l) Continue reading...
