Is there a way I can show the "imaginary" negative numbers or whatever numbers are missing past the 33rd integer?

# This is the original code beginning with the number 777 and I want to show the first 37 numbers.

def Collatz(n):
    i = 1
    while n != 1:
        print(f'{i}. {n}')
        if n & 1:
            n = 3 * n + 1
        else:
            n = n // 2
        i+=1

 
Collatz(777)

I want it to go past and stop at the 37th number. (which probably means that the numbers are imaginary, or negative.)

  1. 2

  2. ....

Solution 
  • Collatz = 777 
i = 1
while i != 38:
    print(f'{i}. {Collatz}')
    if Collatz & 1:
            Collatz = 3 * Collatz + 1
else:
    Collatz = Collatz // 2
i+=1
