%N Number of digits '9' in the set of all numbers from 0 to A014824(n) = sum_{i=1..n} i*10^(n-i) = (0, 1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345, ...).

%F a(n) = A083449(n) = A277830(n) - 1 for 0 < n < 9.
%F a(n) = A277838(n) for n < 8, and a(8) = A277838(8) - 1.
%F More generally, for m = 0, ..., 9, let a[m] denote A277830, ..., A277838 and A277849, respectively. Then a[0](n) = a[n](n) = a[m](n) + 1 for all m > n >= 0, and a[m-1](n) = a[m](n) + (m+1)*10^(n-m) for all n >= m > 1.
%e For n = 2 there is only one digit '9' in the sequence 0, 1, 2, ..., 12.
%e For n = 3 there are 11 + 10 = 21 more digits '9' in { 19, 29, ..., 89, 90, ..., 99, 109, 119 }, where 99 accounts for two '9's.
