Comments

d_i(n) can be found using either of the following formulas:

* d_i(n) = floor(n / 3^i) mod 3;

* d_i(n) = floor(n / 3^i) - 3 * floor(n / 3^(i + 1)).

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{i >= 0} p_(i + 1) * (floor(n / 3^i) - 3 * floor(n / 3^(i + 1))).

Example

The base 3 representation of n = 5 is 12 so a(5) = 2 * 2 + 1 * 3 = 7.
The base 3 representation of n = 12 is 110 so a(12) = 0 * 2 + 1 * 3 + 1 * 5 = 8.
