A function $f$ defined on the positive integers (and taking positive integers values) is given by:
$\begin{matrix} f(1) = 1, f(3) = 3 \\ f(2n) = f(n) \\ f(4n + 1) = 2f(2n + 1) - f(n) \\ f(4n + 3) = 3f(2n + 1) - 2f(n)\text{,} \end{matrix}$
for all positive integers $n.$ Determine with proof the number of positive integers $\leq 1988$ for which $f(n) = n.$
