Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

EXAMPLE
Starting from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 the next number is 12 because after 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 we must continue with a digit '1'. But 1 is already in the sequence so we need to append a 2, which yields 12. And so on.
