P6206 [USACO06OCT] Another Cow Number Game G

Description

The cows are playing a number game, and Bessie wants you to help her predict the result. At the start of the game, Bessie is given a positive integer $N$. Her score is $0$ at this time. The cows transform $N$ using the following rules: - If $N$ is odd, multiply it by $3$ and then add $1$. - If $N$ is even, divide it by $2$. Each time the number is transformed, Bessie gains $1$ point. When $N=1$, the game ends. The score at this time is her final score.

Input Format

One line containing one integer $N$.

Output Format

One line containing one integer, which is Bessie’s final score.

Explanation/Hint

**Constraints** For $100\%$ of the testdata, $1\le N\le 10^6$. ------------ **Sample Explanation** When the initial value of $N$ is $5$, the game proceeds as follows: | $N$ | Number after the transformation | Transformation | Total score | | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: | | $5$ | $16$ | $3\times 5+1$ | $1$ | | $16$ | $8$ | $16\div 2$ | $2$ | | $8$ | $4$ | $8\div 2$ | $3$ | | $4$ | $2$ | $4\div 2$ | $4$ | | $2$ | $1$ | $2\div 2$ | $5$ | Bessie’s final score is $5$.
