// The Collatz Conjecture states that for any integer n:
// If n is even, n = n/2
// If n is odd, n = 3n+1
// And repeat this process for each new n, you will always eventually reach 1.
// Though the conjecture has not been proven, no counterexample has ever been found.
// This function returns how many times this recurrence needs to be applied to reach 1.
