1. A number is called Armstrong number if the sum of cubes of its digits is
equal to the number itself. Find all the three digit Armstrong numbers.
2. Collatz sequence - Given a number ``n``, multiply by 3 and add 1 to
it, if it is odd, otherwise divide it by two. With whatever ``n``
we start with, we finally end with the sequence 4, 2, 1. Write a
program to print this, given some number ``n``.
