FORMULA
a(a(n))=n unless n == 3 (mod 4). - Robert Israel, Apr 01 2020
EXAMPLE
a(16) = 62 because 16 in base 4 is 100, its complement in base 4 is 233 and the digit reverse is 332 that is 64 in base 10.
MAPLE
P:=proc(q, h) local a, b, k, n; print(h-1); for n from 1 to q do a:=convert(n, base, h); b:=0;
