I am trying to replace a integer n if odd by 3 times value plus one or if even replace by half the value and count the steps but the counting does not seem to occur properly

n = input('input the number');
while(n~=1)
m=1;
if(n>1)
if(rem(n,2)==0)
n=n/2;
else
n=3*n+1;
end
end
m=m+1;
end

You have "m=1" as the first thing happening inside the while loop, so you keep resetting the count to 1.
