Hey @Stevenliuyi, Are you sure that is the right implementation and tests of hexadecci series? https://oeis.org/A001592 and other searching of the series and the A001592 that is also this mention that 8th hexadecci is 2, whilst that function says it's 4. Similar mismatch for 10th as well. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 10:37, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for bringing this up. I figured out what's happening. The sequence actually starts at n=0. So if you count n=0 as the first number in the sequence, then n=8 is actually the ninth one. The function is consistent with the definition of a(n) in https://oeis.org/A001592, e.g. a(8) = 4 (see https://oeis.org/A001592/b001592.txt). I agree that this wasn't clear from the function, so I've updated the description to specify "starts from n=0" for clarity. Feel free to refine it further if needed.

- Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying and fixing the desc! I was actually creating a python implementation, and was confused when the tests didn't pass. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 12:33, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
