using the command ' rem '

write a program that request a positive interger as input and then follows this procedure; if the number is even, divide it by 2. if not, multiply the number by 3 and the add 1.

repeat this process with the resulting number and continue repeating until the 1 is reached. After the 1 is reached, the program should display the number of iterations required to reach the number 1. when the program requests input, it should check that the user inputs a positive integer greater than 1. if not, an error message should be generated.
