+# Instructions
+
+The Collatz Conjecture or 3x+1 problem can be summarized as follows:
+
+Take any positive integer n.
+If n is even, divide n by 2 to get n / 2.
+If n is odd, multiply n by 3 and add 1 to get 3n + 1.
+Repeat the process indefinitely.
+The conjecture states that no matter which number you start with, you will always reach 1 eventually.
+
+Given a number n, return the number of steps required to reach 1.
+
+## Examples
+
+Starting with n = 12, the steps would be as follows:
+
+0. 12
+1. 6
+2. 3
+3. 10
+4. 5
+5. 16
+6. 8
+7. 4
+8. 2
+9. 1
+
+Resulting in 9 steps.
+So for input n = 12, the return value would be 9.
