Collatz Prefixes

A pattern among hailstone numbers, i.e. the sequences within the Collatz conjecture.

To-do's

Efficient calculation of $\beta(1, p)$ is an open question
Linking left-child to parent-child in PIPTree is an open question
Prefix can work for even numbers too, but we specifically use odd numbers; need to mention this in the respective section
Iterative method pseudo-algorithm can be written better
Code snippets for many languages could be added
