These two sequences of positive integers are defined as:
::::
The sequence is further defined as the sequence of positive integers '''''not''''' present in .
Sequence starts:
1, 3, 7, 12, 18, ...
Sequence starts:
2, 4, 5, 6, 8, ...
;Task:
# Create two functions named '''ffr''' and '''ffs''' that when given '''n''' return '''R(n)''' or '''S(n)''' respectively.
(Note that R(1) = 1 and S(1) = 2 to avoid off-by-one errors).
# No maximum value for '''n''' should be assumed.
# Calculate and show that the first ten values of '''R''' are:
1, 3, 7, 12, 18, 26, 35, 45, 56, and 69
# Calculate and show that the first 40 values of '''ffr''' plus the first 960 values of '''ffs''' include all the integers from 1 to 1000 exactly once.
