The sequence is generated by following this pseudo-code:
A:  The first term is zero.
    Repeatedly apply:
        If the last term is *new* to the sequence so far then:
B:          The next term is zero.
        Otherwise:
C:          The next term is how far back this last term occured previously.
;Example: Using A: :0 Using B: :0 0 Using C: :0 0 1 Using B: :0 0 1 0 Using C: (zero last occurred two steps back - before the one) :0 0 1 0 2 Using B: :0 0 1 0 2 0 Using C: (two last occurred two steps back - before the zero) :0 0 1 0 2 0 2 2 Using C: (two last occurred one step back) :0 0 1 0 2 0 2 2 1 Using C: (one last appeared six steps back) :0 0 1 0 2 0 2 2 1 6 ... ;Task: # Create a function/procedure/method/subroutine/... to generate the Van Eck sequence of numbers. # Use it to display here, on this page: :# The first ten terms of the sequence. :# Terms 991 - to - 1000 of the sequence. ;References: * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etMJxB-igrc Don't Know (the Van Eck Sequence) - Numberphile video]. * [[wp:Van_Eck%27s_sequence|Wikipedia Article: Van Eck's Sequence]]. * [[OEIS:A181391| OEIS sequence: A181391]].
