COMMENTS

A144078(n) + A144079(n) = A070939(n), the number of binary digits in n.

EXAMPLE

20 in binary is 10100. Compare this with its digit reversal, 00101. XOR each pair of respective digits: 1 XOR 0 = 1, 0 XOR 0 = 0, 1 XOR 1 = 0, 0 XOR 0 = 0, 0 XOR 1 = 1. There are two bit pairs that differ, so a(20) = 2.

MAPLE

A144078 := proc(n) local a, dgs, i; a := 0 ; dgs := convert(n, base, 2) ; for i from 1 to nops(dgs) do if op(i, dgs)+op(-i, dgs) = 1 then a := a+1 ; fi; od; RETURN(a) ; end: for n from 1 to 240 do printf("%d, ", A144078(n)) ; od: [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Sep 14 2008]
