How do I make a collatz conjecture solver to find the number with the longest trajectory and output it in a list?

def get_count(n):    i = 1    while n != 1:        (n, i) = (3*n+1 if n%2 else n/2, i + 1)    return(i)nlist=[]a = int(input("collatz trajecory length of:"))for x in range(1,a+1):    nlist.insert(x, get_count(x)+"hello")   #"need to add the get_count to the "x" valure for example= 20_9#where 20 is the length of the trajectory and 9 is the number we're calculating the trajectory of.#the error has to do with not being able to convert the variuble, whitch is and integer function, to a string.#if i sucseed, i also get an error where i cant combine the getcount variuble and the string number variuble. inlist.sort(key=lambda x: (int(x.split(None, 1)[0]) if x[:1].isdigit() else 999, x)) #another wierd error#i dont understant about bytes.print(nlist)

I expected it to output a list with the terms (example) [<trajectory_length>_,3_2,8_5] i want it to sort by TRAJECTORY length, lowest to highest. the number to be calculated is NOT in order, just an indicator of whet number was tested.
