The Problem You remember the Collatz sequence, don't ya? Here is a little reminder in case you didn't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz conjecture One of the problems is that, by doing the calculation over from the beginning for every number, you waste a lot of time redoing work that already has been done. Look at the first 6 sequences: 2 2,1 33,10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2,1 4 4,2,1 55, 16, 8, 4, 2,'1 6 6, 3, 10, 5,16, 8,4, 2,1 Subsequences, whose value we already know, are recalculated. For example, the entire sequence of3 is already known, but we recalculate the entire sequence when starting from 6 Memoization Memoization (note the spelling, no "r") is a simple optimization technique used in algorithms where repeat calculations occur (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization) The idea is simple. We remember a sequence when we first calculate it. Subsequently, for any value we calculate we check first to see if we already know the remaining sequence. If so, we stop the calculation and just copy the known sequence in. For this lab, we will use a map to memorize Collatz sequences. Pay attention to this technique, it comes up in many guises and is very useful! Programming Task Make a new project directory called lab08. Copy lab08 functions.h to your directory. You need to write both lab08_functions.cpp and lab08_main.cpp. You will turn in lab08 functions. cpp to Mimir for testing Data structure, map of lona to vector The data structure you will use for the lab is a map that has: as a key, a long representing the first number in the Collatz sequence
