Subreddit Rules & Etiquette:

  1. If you're counting, upvote your fellow counting comrades.
  2. NO double-commenting (replying to yourself).
  3. Continue the counting chain from the earliest comment with the correct number.
  4. Before creating a new thread, please check the thread directory to make sure that type of thread doesn't already exist.
  5. To prevent Reddit server strain, create a new thread after the current thread has approximately 1000 counts in a comment chain.
  6. Counting bots/scripts are not permitted and will be banned - please report counting comments made by bots. Ask a moderator if you are not sure about something.
  7. Do not delete your valid counts (when they're already a part of the valid chain).
  8. Do not use inbox counting to achieve a get (000) or assist (999). Inbox counting is using your inbox to reply to a incoming PM/comment.
  9. Play fairly. No cheating.

Happy counting!

Constant-weight binary | 1 0010 1000 0110

7 Upvotes

Countinued from here.

Thanks to h0rseycat for the run and assist!

In this thread, we count binary strings in segments of length (how many bits they have) and weight (how many ones they have). All the counts in a segment have the same number of bits and number of ones. This only changes when we reach the highest number of that length and weight, when we increase the weight and start over from the lowest possible number. Or, if the previous count was all ones, we add a new bit and start over with all zeroes.

To find the next binary number with m ones out of n bits:

  1. Find the rightmost 1 which has a 0 to its left and slide it one bit to the left.

  2. If that bit had one or more 1s immediately to its right, then arrange those remaining 1s all the way on the right side.

Thanks to u/h0rseycat for the assist

In this thread, we'll be counting the ways to add to an integer n using the integers c_1 + c_2 + ... + c_k, where each c_i >= 1, and k <= n. Ways to sum that are commutatively the same, as in 1+2 = 2+1, are different compositions. We'll be counting these compositions lexicographically for each segment of sum and length.

Next get: 3,2,1,4,5

Thank you goes to /u/h0rseycat for the previous run and assist.

The first 5 numbers are distinct numbers taken from the range [1, 69], sorted in increasing order. The last number is taken from the range [1, 26]. The sequences are ordered lexicographically.

Next get is at 1 2 4 9 40 + 1.
