\subsection{Exercises}

\begin{frame}{Problem 1.1: \emph{Armstrong} numbers}
  Write a program that displays all three digit numbers that are equal to the sum of the cubes of their digits. That is, print numbers $abc$ that have the property $abc = a^3 + b^3 + c^3$\\
For example, $153 = 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3$\\
\vspace*{0.2in}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Problem 1.2: Collatz sequence}
\begin{enumerate}
  \item Start with an arbitrary (positive) integer. 
  \item If the number is even, divide by 2; if the number is odd, multiply by 3 and add 1.
  \item Repeat the procedure with the new number.
  \item It appears that for all starting values there is a cycle of 4, 2, 1 at which the procedure loops.
\end{enumerate}
    Write a program that accepts the starting value and prints out the Collatz sequence.
