COMMENTS
Consecutive identical digits of n are kept. Leading zeros are erased unless the result is 0. If all digits are erased, we write -1 for the result (A321803 is another version, which uses 0 for the empty string).
More than the usual number of terms are shown in order to reach some interesting examples. Agrees with A321800 for n < 121.
EXAMPLE
123321 becomes 33, 1123 becomes 11, 112331 becomes 1133, and 100223 becomes 22 (as we don't accept leading zeros). Note that 12321 disappears immediately and we get -1.
