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”).

Concatenate the positions of digits 0, 1,..., 9 in the decimal representation of n, using 1 for the rightmost digit etc., and 0 when the digit does not occur.

EXAMPLE
Consider n=1103, the digit '0' is at 2nd position (looking from the right), digit '1' in 3rd and 4th place, digit '2' does not occur, digit '3' at 1st position, digits 4-9 do not occur. Thus a(1103) = 23401000000.
PROG
(PARI) a(n)={my(p=vector(10)); for(i=1, #n=if(n, Vecrev(digits(n)), [0]), p[n[i]+1]=if(p[n[i]+1], concat(p[n[i]+1], i), i)); p=concat(p); p[1]=Str(p[1]); eval(concat(p))}
