look-and-say sequence
Definition(s)
-
In mathematics, the look-and-say sequence is the sequence of integers beginning as follows :
1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221, 312211, 13112221, 1113213211, 31131211131221, ... (sequence A005150 in the OEIS).
To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, read off the digits of the previous member, counting the number of digits in groups of the same digit. For example :
- 1 is read off as "one 1" or 11.
- 11 is read off as "two 1s" or 21.
- 21 is read off as "one 2, one 1" or 1211.
- 1211 is read off as "one 1, one 2, two 1s" or 111221.
- 111221 is read off as "three 1s, two 2s, one 1" or 312211.
