"subtract if possible, otherwise add" : a (0) = 0; for n > 0, a ( n ) = a ( n − 1) − n if that number is positive and not already in the sequence, otherwise a ( n ) = a ( n − 1) + n , whether or not that number is already in the sequence.

Suppose one wants to determine the 5-combination at position 72. The successive values of () for n = 4, 5, 6, ... are 0, 1, 6, 21, 56, 126, 252, ..., of which the largest one not exceeding 72 is 56, for n = 8. Therefore c 5 = 8, and the remaining elements form the 4-combination at position 72 − 56 = 16.
For example, if you had two types of coins valued at 6 cents and 14 cents, the GCD would equal 2, and there would be no way to combine any number of such coins to produce a sum which was an odd number; additionally, even numbers 2, 4, 8, 10, 16 and 22 (less than m=24) could not be formed, either.

G(3) is at least 4 (since cubes are congruent to 0, 1 or −1 mod 9); for numbers less than 1.3 × 10 9, 1 290 740 is the last to require 6 cubes, and the number of numbers between N and 2N requiring 5 cubes drops off with increasing N at sufficient speed to have people believe that G(3) = 4; [17] the largest number now known not to be a sum of ...
For example, when d=4, the hash table for two occurrences of d would contain the key-value pair 8 and 4+4, and the one for three occurrences, the key-value pair 2 and (4+4)/4 (strings shown in bold). The task is then reduced to recursively computing these hash tables for increasing n , starting from n=1 and continuing up to e.g. n=4.
