Talk:Ludic numbers: Difference between revisions

:Thanks Tim, I was so focused on the sieve loop, I forgot the initial 1. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 08:23, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

 

 

The OEIS wiki page's description of Ludic sequence generation is very clear, while that of the task page here is very much not. By the wording here, step 1 gives 2, 3, 4, ..., and L = 2; step 2 wants to "remove every L'th indexed item from the array (including the first)", which means what, remove 2 (the first), 3 (first L-th), 5 (second L-th), and so on? So are we left with 4, 6, 8... now? And what's the difference between "every L'th ''indexed''" and, say, just "every L-th"?

 

Also, I believe the "th" suffix is more commonly typeset as "L-th" or "''L''th" (the italic "L" in the latter optional.) --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] ([[User talk:Ledrug|talk]]) 08:40, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
