Define a function in loop_functions.py named count_collatz that takes a single paramater named a_0. This function takes a positive intenger a_0 and returns the minimum number of iterations required to find a term equal to 1. In other words, this function counts how many terms it takes to reach 1. Look at the list below for examples. You may use if statements but for and while loops are preferred.
