similar to the halting problem will this function terminate for all values of n (prove it)? if not, find a value of n such that it doesnt. (if you do, somebody will give you $1,000,000) int f(int n){ if (n==1) return 1; else if (n%2==0) return f(n/2); else return f(3*n+1); } function f(n:int):int if n=1 then result 1 elsif n mod 2=0 then result f(n/2); else result f(3*n+1); end if end f |

sorry, darkness is the only one eligible for the million dollars. ask him to split the money. btw it is not a link. it is a certificate (use print screen to get it and goto paint and paste it and print it) and you can redeem it at your local bank. |
