(i'th term?)

Other calculations fail as 0 is never a term if calculating the i'th term from the run length encodings of i for example. Best to correct the task wording and adjust all examples I think. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 23:37, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

The 123456789'th term of 83116 / 51639 applies to the wikipedia series where the "first" term is 1.

I get, using the wikipedia calcs:
<pre>for i in [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]:
print(i, ith_term(i))
0 1
1 1
2 1/2
3 2
4 1/3
5 3/2
6 2/3
7 3
8 1/4
9 4/3</pre>
zeroth, and first terms are both 1. Best to do as wikepedia does and have istart at 1 for the series I think? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 00:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
