kthTerm
For the given integer n
, consider an increasing sequence consisting of all positive integers that are either powers of n
, or sums of distinct powers of n
.
Your task is to find the kth
(1-based) number in this sequence.
Example
- For
n = 3
andk = 4
, the output should bekthTerm(n, k) = 9
.For
Then = 3
, the sequence described above begins as follows:1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 12, 13...
.4th
number in this sequence is9
, which is the answer.
