cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A061563 Start with n; add to itself with digits reversed; if palindrome, stop; otherwise repeat; a(n) gives palindrome at which it stops, or -1 if no palindrome is ever reached.

Keywords

Comments

It is believed that n = 196 is the smallest integer which never reaches a palindrome.

Examples

			19 -> 19 + 91 = 110 -> 110 + 011 = 121, so a(19) = 121.

Programs

  • ARIBAS
    var st: stack; test: boolean; end; for k := 0 to 60 do n := k; test := true; while test do n := n + int_reverse(n); test := n <> int_reverse(n); end; stack_push(st,n); end; stack2array(st);
  • Mathematica
    tol = 1000; r[n_] := FromDigits[Reverse[IntegerDigits[n]]]; palQ[n_] := n == r[n]; ar[n_] := n + r[n]; Table[k = 0; If[palQ[n], n = ar[n]; k = 1]; While[! palQ[n] && k < tol, n = ar[n]; k++]; If[k == tol, n = -1]; n, {n, 0, 64}] (* Jayanta Basu, Jul 11 2013 *)
    Table[Module[{k=n+IntegerReverse[n]},While[k!=IntegerReverse[k],k=k+IntegerReverse[k]];k],{n,0,70}] (* The program uses the IntegerReverse function from Mathematica version 10 *) (* Harvey P. Dale, Jul 19 2016 *)
