Talk:Show the (decimal) value of a number of 1s appended with a 3, then squared
task clarification
I assume that this (draft) task is to use decimal (base ten) numbers, in particular, to use positive integers. Also, is the showing of those numbers optional? -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 15:56, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
OEIS references
I suggest if you're adding (draft) Rosetta Code tasks, to include any pertinent links to OEIS entries and other (if possible) links from such sites as Wikipedia, MathWorld, and other similar sites). -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 16:02, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- Is this a named sequence ?
- I ran a test program to calculate 111...113 with more 1s, with 99 1s, I get:
- AAAAAAAAAAA54320ZZZZZZZZZZ98769 where A=123456790 and Z=987654320. Sadly, it doesn't tend to 123456789... : )

- It isn't a named sequence (per se) in that it has no "snappy" name that rolls off the tongue, but it does have an OEIS number: A151997. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 17:15, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
- I don't have a short name, anything that I can think of is a bit verbose, but descriptive.

(or something like that). I'm sure someone will come up with a better, and hopefully, a shorter name. Of course, it would be better if there was a snappy name for the series, but there ya have it. At least, the task now has a requirement; compute and show the results. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 06:54, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
