%N Number of distinct runs in base-7 digits of n.

%C Every positive integers occurs infinitely many times. See A297770 for a guide to related sequences.

%e 1234567 in base-7: 1,3,3,3,1,2,1,5; six runs, of which 4 are distinct, so that a(1234567) = 4.

%t b = 7; s[n_] := Length[Union[Split[IntegerDigits[n, b]]]]

%t Table[s[n], {n, 1, 200}]

%Y Cf. A043559 (number of runs, not necessarily distinct), A297770, A043534.
