%N Distance from the origin using the binary expansion of Pi to walk the number line: Start at the origin; subtract one for each '0' digit, and add one for each '1' digit.
%C Of the first 10^10 terms, 5738590822 are positive and 4261262135 are negative. - _Hans Havermann_, Nov 27 2016

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} (2*b(k) - 1), where b(n) is the n-th binary digit of Pi.
%e The first five digits of the expansion are 1, 1, 0, 0, 1.
%e Starting at 0, we get 0 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 1 + 1 = 1, so a(5) = 1.
