Comments

The terms of sequence A339978 converge to this sequence of digits, and to this constant, up to powers of 10.

Examples

			The largest square with 1, 2, 3, 4, ... digits is, respectively, 9 = 3^2, 81 = 9^2, 961 = 31^2, 9801 = 99^2, ....
Here we list the sequence of digits of these numbers: 9; 8, 1; 9, 6, 1; 9, 8, 0, 1; 9, 9, 8, 5, 6; ...
This can be considered, as for the Champernowne and Copeland-Erdős constants, as the decimal expansion of a real constant 0.98196198...
