The first negative term is a(120) = -1.

Note that it does not matter whether the alternating sum starts from the first or from the last digit of n. - Jianing Song, Jun 12 2022

			For n=489, a(489) = (9-8+4)^3 = 125.

Cf. A055017 (alternating digit sum), A055642 (number of digits).
Cf. A353907 (fixed points).
Cf. A113009 (normal sum instead of alternating).
