OEIS_offset: OEIS sequence offset from 'xml2' data.

In EnriquePH/OEIS.R: Data from the on-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences in R

OEIS sequence offset from xml2 data.

Description

This line usually gives the subscript of the first term in the sequence. If the sequence gives the decimal expansion of a constant, the offset is the number of digits before the decimal point. In the OEIS web internal format, there is a second offset, which says which term (counting from the left, and starting with 1), first exceeds 1 in absolute value. This is set to 1 if all the terms are 0 or +-1

Usage

OEIS_offset(x)

Arguments

x	Can be one of the following: A character string with sequence ID. A OEIS_internal S3 class object, with sequence internal format. A S3 classes object OEIS_xml and xml_document, with sequence content from OEIS web. An object of OEIS_sequence class, that contains all sequence related data.

Value

A character vector with the OEIS sequence offsets.

Note

In the internal format for a sequence the offset line (the contains two numbers. The first is the offset as just defined. The second gives the position of first entry greater than or equal to 2 in magnitude in the sequence (or 1 if no such entry exists), starting counting at 1. The second offset is used to determine the position of the sequence in the lexicographic order in the database.
