Question

For this problem you will accept a single BigInteger value. This number can potentially get VERY large, so we don't want to just use Integer. You can find documentation about BigInteger here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/math/BigInteger.html
If the number passed into our recursive method is even, pass half of that value back into our method. If the number passed in is odd then multiply it by 3, add one, and then pass it back into our method.
Our method will only stop executing if the value passed into our method is a 1.
For full credit, keep track of how many times through this method it takes for the original number passed in to reach 1. This can be maintained in a class level variable that can be incremented within your method.
public void bouncing Number (BigInteger value){
// Your code here
Note: Every number that has EVER been tested using this formula will ALWAYS eventually return to one. Mathematicians have brute force tested values from 1 to 295,147,905,179,352,825,856.
That is nearly 300 Quintillion values.
