JAVA

\ Write a program that reads a positive integer value, and compute the following sequence:

o If the value is even, halve it.

o If it's odd, multiply by 3 and add 1.

o Repeat this process until the value is 1, printing out each value.

o Finally print out how many of these operations you performed.

Note: If the input value is less than 1, print a message containing the word Error and exit the

program.

This is how the output should look like:

Initial value is: 9

Next value is: 28

Next value is: 14

Next value is: 7

Next value is: 22

Next value is: 11

Next value is: 34

Next value is: 17

Next value is: 52

Next value is: 26

Next value is: 13

Next value is: 40

Next value is: 20

Next value is: 10

Next value is: 5

Next value is: 16

Next value is: 8

Next value is: 4

Next value is: 2

Final value 1, number of operations performed 19
